Wood Wallpaper

I love this product! I’m surprised how good this looks and how easy it is to work with! Looks like real wood! The roll doesn’t look like real wood but when it’s on it looks amazing!! I’m really happy with this product!!

Ease of use: Easy to work with. It was my first time to wallpaper and I knew this would be a challenge because I am picky about details and I wanted to go edge to to edge without overlap or gaps. It went on perfect. I can slide anything across the desk and there's no bumps. Appearance: It took me a really long time to find a good rustic look that fit the theme/feel/style of the creative and office space I'm setting up. I absolutely hate to see patterns in organic designs, or when people use the rubber-stamp tool in photoshop (former 3D guy here who specializes in procedural textures so it's a pet peeve,plus that's annoying ugly) the pattern repeats about 5 feet. This is long enough to flip and slide to prevent a tiled look. If you shipped well papers or laminates you can see the obvious tiles on the walls. It looks cheesy. Plus, watch out because those are not photos, those are texture mapped and/or photoshopped in and they do not have an accurate scale they try to make it bigger or block the repeated patterns. To be sure, look at the user photos and video and there's the truth. There is a woodgrain pattern pressed into the vinyl. When the sun hits the desk the shine subtly adds to the believability factor. They did a great job with printing. It's not just 3 colors it's well blended photo like. Hours of searching for a workshop type of rustic wood look, that didn't have unique "that's the same blue board", or a pattern that tiles every 17 inches, was quite a challenge. Next time I need a faux wood to test something before commiting to real wood, I'll look up this brand and order again. Tips: to separate the vinyl from the backing, stick tape on the paper backing half on the paper and half off, at the corner and at 45 degrees do the paper corner is pointing along the tape's length. Pull the excess tab of tap back and it peels right off. It peals easy and it has great stick to my desktop. Your surface may very. I found it if it started to drift away from the previous piece that was laid down in and start to form a gap, the best practice seem to be not pulling it towards the other one but rather working the air bubbles out from the far side of the seam towards the seam. You definitely don't want to pull and stretch this stuff because eventually down the road it will want to pull itself back into shape and it will develop wrinkles or bubbles where it was stretched. To trim the excess vinyl off the desk edges, use an Exacto knife with a brand new blade. Run the blad along the edge withe the grain so it doesn't dig in. Have the broadside of the blade evenly on the edge of the desk. Tilt the handles so that it's leaning over the desk. As you pull the blade along the edge slowly raise and lower the blade like a slow motion sawing motion otherwise it will wear out one spot in the blade and eventually snag. My desk has camperd corners so I had My knife had an extreme angle so that it wouldn't get a lip of vinyl to snag and eventually peel. I've seen some videos where people ran their fingers along the edge of their furniture that they applied a vinyl and complain because they could snag and peel it back... That's their own fault for not trimming it properly. That's not a fault of the vinyl laminate or wallpaper. My desk is 9 ft long, so to have perfect edge to edge (I'm referring to the edge of the roll of vinyl, not the desk surface) without any overlap or gap, was more challenging than a shorter span desk, because if you're off a little bit early it will be off a lot by the time I got to the other end. But it worked out quite well with this. Results: My desk is a real wood desk (IKEA Galant from 2005) and I was going to build my own rustic authentic wood surface to replace it, but this test turned out so well I'll keep it on for a couple year and focus on other home projects! I like it! A LOT! I hope this helps everybody, as you can see it's a quality laminate. I would like to see this company make more colors and textures as options. Not just colorizing the existing texture, but to come up with different types of saw marks or knots, different wood types etc.

The color is amazing and it looks like wood when it's applied..it's a realistic, cool brown color which compliments my decor really well. The paper is very thick and feels sturdy...and expensive. It's a bit tricky to apply and it takes practice but once you do it a few times you get the hang of it. I had to cover a coffee table and I had to use two separate pieces and you can't even tell where it meets in the middle, which is awesome. My only complaint is the adhesion. It sticks great on the top, no issues, it's the sides where it doesn't stick so great and slightly bubbles up..it's not a deal breaker but I do have to push it down every few days. Other than than that it's really a great product.

Best purchase ever. Don’t overthink this - just stick it on and smooth it out and move on to your next project. I used just ONE piece and tucked in the corners like you would wrap a christmas present and was done in a few minutes! It looks great and although I only plan to have this as a temporary solution- I think I’ll keep it long term after seeing and using it. I’m having a surgery in a couple of days so I needed a quick solution and this was it. The prep- I didn’t prep or sand my furniture item, I didn’t measure anything, I didn’t cut individual pieces for each flat surface, and I didn’t use any extra tools for air bubbles- I just smoothed it all out by hand, peeling and re-placing when I messed up. I used just ONE rectangle piece of this sticker paper to cover the entire thing and it was so easy! The adhesion- This really kept its stickyness despite me peeling it back and making adjustments after placing it down. I didn’t heat it up with a hairdryer like some people wrote in their reviews but that might have helped for the final edge that I stuck down. It was easy to place and re-place when I needed to adjust parts I didn’t place well. The back edge (which was the last part I stuck down and also a strange particle board texture) wasn’t sticking entirely and since it’s not visible I just used a piece of double sided tape to adhere it and that did the trick. The color- The pattern is very forgivable and you can’t notice the cuts I made to wrap my rounded corners unless you’re a few inches away and REALLY looking. There’s no shine to the material so it looks like wood and not a sticker. Quality- it’s durable for a sticker top- I aggressively ran my nails over it for a scratch test and it doesn’t even look like I’ve touched it. I honestly made the least amount of effort possible when placing this and it came out incredible.

Thin will be damaged easily and melted fast

It’s hard to judge the colour based on photos but this was the closest to what I was searching for. It arrived quickly and I was a bit concerned when I saw the product as it looked a little cheap, however, once I applied it to my project, it looked so much better. It was easy to apply and it’s been up for a week with no issues. Very pleased as it’s exactly what I had envisioned.
