Very durable material which can be both a good and bad point when trying to hang this backdrop. The command stripes weren't strong enough to hold him down. I ended up buying clips to attach the backdrop and then buying hooks to attach the backdrop and it worked. All in all, buying a backdrop stand saves you the hassle I had to go through. But the robust fasteners and hooks have also made it. It was the major. All night everyone was photographed in the background.
