I was skeptical when I ordered this, I was hoping I could put it on the wall but didn't know what I was ordering. The vinyl is similar to what you would put on the table at a kid's birthday party but much better material. It's amazingly durable. I recommend setting the iron to a synthetic fabric (if possible) and ironing over a flat rug. Iron the dark part first so you can get used to it. Don't spill a drop of water on the front.
