We live on a sailboat, and the mast is held to the deck by wire rope attached to steel “chainplates,” which extend through the deck and are then bolted to bulkheads that are fixed and glassed into the interior of the hull – super sturdy. However, the holes under the chainplate covers are perfect areas for water seepage if not properly sealed.We realized our sealing compound was failing when we saw the teak veneer on one bulkhead beginning to bubble just under the chainplate after a particularly bad storm.Re-sealing the chainplates was easy. Fixing the veneer was going to be a disaster. There’s no easy way to do it without pulling a lot of stuff out of the boat, disassembling some components, and then pulling off all the old and gluing down new. We were looking at a lot of money for someone else to do it or a lot of time and a little less money to do it ourselves – just to cover a small area that peeled off.My girlfriend suggested some sort of vinyl covering, and in my mind, I saw our walls covered with shelf paper – obviously fake wood, which I couldn’t fathom being anything I’d like.However, being unable to come up with any other solution, I decided to check Amazon just to see what was out there.I found this product and decided that for the price, I would take a chance and see what happened. I’m certainly glad I did.I’m not sure our use of this is what the manufacturer intended. I think it’s designed to cover furniture or smaller items. I don’t think it was intended as a wall covering. However, it performs quite well in that respect.Installing it is a lot like installing wallpaper, except the adhesive is on the paper already. All we did for prep is wipe the walls with a rag soaked in acetone. For the first piece we tried to install, we peeled all the backing off – but that makes it difficult to work with. The best way we found was to use some “delicate” masking tape to tape it up, cut it to the approximate shape, then remove the paper from the top, put it in place, and work the bubbles out as you pull off the backing while unrolling it down the wall. Then cut the excess from around any obstacles.It's actually easier than you think to maintain a vertically-straight line because of the wood grain pattern – but it wouldn’t hurt to put chalk lines or something there – especially if you’re having to do a full eight-foot wall. Our bulkheads simply aren’t that big.Also, a hair dryer makes the PVC quite flexible to allow for added assistance in removing bubbles or some weird angles or curves on the surface.I still gave it five starts on "Easy to Install" because it's WAY easier than wallpaper and our project was outside the bounds of what the product was designed to do.In the end, it turned out way better than either of us expected. You honestly can’t tell that it’s not wood unless you’re right on top of it or touch it. If they could find a way to add texture to the grain, they’d be geniuses, LOLI intentionally waited to write this review for a few weeks just to see how it would hold up under the humid conditions of a sailboat and I am happy to report that all is well. None of it has peeled, scratched, rubbed off, or done anything untoward at all.Highly recommended.

I purchased to cover a 10+ yr old Sauder particle board shelving unit. The color is rich & work’s perfectly in my dining room. Doesn’t stick as well as I’d like as I’ve had to repress several areas back down. It also tears easily when trying to get crisp edges. Better than spending the $$ for a new unit but I probably won’t be able to put the doors back on as the paper doesn’t stick well enough.

I used this to wrap a desk surface that I use for both my laptop and electronics workspace. Its been 5-6 months since I installed this.Two things to remember1. Always use a long continuous piece2. The surface MUST be smooth with no roughness whatsoever - including edgesAlways cut inch more than the edge of the surface so that the edges are no visible or easily disturbed by regular use. First time when I pasted it, it started to peel off slowly. Then I sanded the whole surface, edge with a 200 grit sandpaper. Wiped it with a tack cloth. Then pasted it down and folded an inch over the side.Durability :1. I have placed breakfast plate with warm food, ice cold beverages - no deformation2. I have soldered on top of it with hot solder dropping off my iron. Yes, I was scared first but I was able to flick it off with no damage, no residue, no evidence of solder dropping there!! I did see some stain of the Solder flex, but not visible unless you look flat at an angle.3. My cat sits on the table surface regularly. I keep dragging stuff on top of it. So far, its held up to traffic.I actually bought an extra roll for replacing damaged sheets. So far (knock on wood) that roll just sitting there!!I think the price is reasonable for the coverage. Its not cheap. But, I would definitely pay for this quality.Lastly, I did buy this like 2 separate times (1 month apart) and did not notice any pattern difference. It is possible its came from the same batch!

The wood grain looks so real and natural. Rich color. The paper is thick and strong. I just used it to restore a big desk. Love it! I will order more.

This is still not as thick as the original contact peel and stick but works well.

Looks good, and is holding well so far.

I covered a cardboard box with it and it looked like real wood.

Was easy to use
