5 out of 5 stars
The pros:
* The price - at $99.99, this was far cheaper than any other similarly sized self-adhesive wall mural
* The vinyl material is thick and tough. It's not going to rip while you're trying to apply it
* The package was well organized, with instructions and numbered panels, so that there was no confusion about what order to apply the panels
* Application was quite easy. I did it by myself, and it took about 2 hours, and I ended up with almost no bubbles
The cons:
* Image quality is not great. I couldn't guess how many megapixels the source image had, but there aren't enough. If you get close to the wall, you can see actual square pixels in the photo, and the overall effect is quite blurry if you're closer than 3 feet away. I've attached a close-up picture to better illustrate the image quality (from 3 ft away, and from 1 ft away)
* You *must* get placement right the first time. Contrary to what it says, this mural is not "removable". I had one of the panels and the wrong angle, and when i tried to peel it off to reposition, it took all the paint off the wall with it. The smaller sizes may be repositionable, but with the 24" wide panels, there's simply too much adhesive involved, and it takes the wall paint with it no matter how slowly and carefully you try to peel it off.
* It makes the room darker. This one's on me, but I didn't realize that covering a white wall with a dark forest mural was going to make the whole room feel a bit darker. Just something to keep in mind if you're considering this.
Overall, good for the price, much easier than dealing with wallpaper paste, and it looks fairly good as long as you're not standing too close.
