It was much harder to hang than we expected - it took half an hour per roll and we had 7 rolls so it took most of the day allowing for breaks. It was very easy to get the picture aligned vertically but very difficult to butt up the seams. That's why I have only given a 4 star rating. We have got some small gaps and small overlaps but you have to know where they are to see them. We got glue everywhere and the instruction not to overwork the seams was impossible to follow as they needed a lot of pressure to stick, but the paper was very forgiving and once we had washed off all the surplus glue there was no sign of all any surface wear. We found it best to have one person in charge of the hanging whilst the second person helped with the initial vertical alignment and then ran back and forwards continually washing glue off cloths and spreaders and pointing out bubbles and glue splurges. NB we did try using less glue but then it was too difficult to slide around to get the edges to match. We had followed advice and used size as well, so we were surprised how difficult it was to move. We bought the heavier weight paper so maybe it would have been easier with the lighter weight. If anyone is wondering whether they dare to be bold, I say go for it. Everyone who sees ours thinks its amazing and it was worth the effort and all the swearing.

Easy to use website, best selection I could find of arty designs (ie not photos), prompt delivery.
