I bought this to use as a background for my photos and makeup tutorials and it was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing about it is that it's HUGE. I had to cut in half, but those are always good challenges. Many in the reviews complained that the creases were difficult to iron, but I didn't have that problem at all. I used my regular flat iron and just quickly ran it over the background. I tried not to leave it in one spot for too long and it straightened out the wrinkles straight away. I would compare the material to that of a heavy duty shower curtain.
