Purchased (in green, gold and black) for my daughter's 18th birthday and 2019 prom combo; I've since loaned it to friends for their selfie photo booths. Very shiny, looks beautiful in the pictures, the colors are rich and bright. The only downside is that it's quite thin so order some panels / be aware of what's in the background so it can't be seen through lighting and flash. I am so happy with the product that I have ordered 3 plaques in silver and 3 more in gold.
