I photograph my baby every month and have several backgrounds in my arsenal. This is the worst background I have ever bought and the time I use it will be my last. It took my husband over 30 minutes to steam out all the wrinkles and even then some parts of this backdrop were wrinkled and ruined (thankfully below). It's a thick paper-like material and only the steam on the back seems to have altered it to look odd. Since it doesn't have a pole pocket we taped it to our backdrop stand and when we removed it we found that the tape actually took some of the color/design with it. I bought good quality backgrounds for the same price so while cheap you can find better backgrounds for the price elsewhere.
