As attractive as this background was, I unfortunately found it unusable due to the way it was packaged. It was rolled up so tightly that I couldn't leave it flat, even after leaving it unrolled with heavy books weighing down the corners. To make matters worse, it was held in that tight roll by a large piece of tape that wouldn't stretch. turned off, making one side unusable for photos, even if I *could* lay it flat. Total disappointment and waste of money.
