Do you have a helper, patience or a backup plan.

When I'm getting projects done I like to think of myself as a pretty smart and meticulous person. Other than that, this article drove me crazy about obsessive-compulsive disorder. This wall has an area of approximately 73 square meters. foot, and it took me about 4 hours to install it myself. 1) The grid on the back is handy for cutting straight lines, but it doesn't matter if the print itself is crooked on the paper. This made pattern matching difficult and frustrating. So don't expect to be able to cut straight and keep the line straight. 2) This is not a direct match ruler. I photographed how many overlaps I had to keep the pattern consistent; 0.5 to 0.75 inches. Most of this probably had to do with disabling alignment. I did NOT expect to take the extra time to adjust the stencil and make sure the entire length of the wall (8ft ceilings) overlapped. I just read the instructions (including the photo) which say to include an inch on both sides. to deny the fact that this is a direct coincidence and waver in the line of false advertising. On the plus side, the paper is thicker than I expected and adhesion is excellent. Now that it's done, I love it. I won't say that most of the time I didn't swore and started seriously questioning my design choices. Until you look too closely, it's hard to spot mistakes. So, in summary, would I buy this brand again? no I would either find a brand that is legally a direct match as that would make assembly SO much easier, or pick a pattern.
