Review on Green Wallpaper Peel And Stick Silk Embossed Self Adhesive Wallpaper 15.7" X 118" Removable Vintage Plant Wallpaper Cabinet Furniture Countertop Shelf Paper by Jermall Meredith

I am new to working with contact paper so I did a ton of research on different papers, how much I would need, and any problems people had with it. I am leaving these details for anyone else trying to do the research or thinking of using this paper so you can make a more informed decision. I bought these bookcases on an online auction for REALLY cheap without seeing them in person. You can see the quality by looking at the sliding doors that went with the bookcases. There are some cosmetic issues and the whole reason I even decided to do contact paper was because a 1/4" opening was between the 2 slabs on the back. I wanted to add some paper on the shelves because, not only was there some water damage to the wood (bulge on bottom shelf), but one of the shelves were screwed in upside down so the unprotected area was on top. I am using these bookcases in my kitchen (it is a work in progress) so I would like to be prepared for any accidents. I actually really enjoyed this paper, but I would definitely say it's not for every project. I was able to just lay it willy nilly across the shelves and just cut off what I needed. I did have a few problems with the paper tearing while I was peeling it away from the other paper. It was about the same experience as when you turn a page in a book and it rips, and then continues to rip like a roll of masking tape. However, I didn't have a problem with the rips showing up. The picture with the red oval shows the biggest rip I had, and actually the only one I could find. I did have some problems with it ripping while I tried to fold the paper over the side and I have a picture showing the worst one. The biggest issue I believe is the adhesive. It will work fine for me because it will lay flat with objects on top of it. I assume vertical may not be ideal unless you add some adhesion. Now, the bottom of the shelves are very coarse (also a picture of that) so I did not expect that to stick well. I am able to use masking tape to make sure it stays and no one over 3' can see it anyways. I am trying to be careful with the paper and haven't put much of anything on the shelves yet. It may not hurt to have an extra roll or 2 for the future if you are using it as a horizontal cover. I would also recommend buying everything at the same time because sometimes (in paper/cloth) a batch may dye differently.
