We used this for an impromptu photo booth for a prom party. It worked but each piece is very thin and you can see through it, there isn't much tinsel. If you want a thicker background for photos and can't see what's behind, you need to order 2 packs of 2. We had a black vinyl tablecloth that we hung in the back and that helped. In general everything was fine, but the background is not as solid as in the product photo.
