Review on RoomMates RMK12008WP Blue Weathered Planks Peel And Stick Wallpaper by Kuldip Roberts

Excellent wall covering!

I put this up as a wainscot instead of using beadboard or real distressed wood. It looks great, and I've had several people ask me if it's real wood!As I was only using 33" lengths, I had no trouble positioning or repositioning it by myself, but I can see where one person could have trouble hanging this full-length. If it folds back on itself, you'll have a difficult time unsticking it, and chances are you'll ruin it - so if you're doing a floor-to-ceiling job, make sure you have help! Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to get out any air bubbles, and work slowly and patiently for best results. I also recommend using a snap-blade utility knife for cutting and trimming - you'll need to change blades frequently for clean, consistent cuts.Be sure to order more than you need to allow for pattern match and any mishaps that may occur along the way. I ordered two 28-square foot rolls for a 30-square foot area, and was well into the second roll when I finished. This was due to the pattern match, as I didn't have any "accidents" during the installation.This is a very durable wall covering. I placed a chair rail over the top edge, and I haven't had any problem at all with the material falling off the wall (as others have reported) in the three weeks that it's been up. Oh, and my walls aren't perfectly smooth, but the product actually covered the flaws very well, with no bubbling.I'm more than pleased with this purchase, and plan on ordering more to use elsewhere in the house.

Pros
  • The wallpaper is moisture-resistant, making it ideal for use in bathrooms and other humid environments
Cons
  • The blue color may clash with existing wall art or decor
