So I bought this backdrop because I didn't want to arrange a lot of decorations this year and wanted to photograph everything by myself. It was an amazing time saver. I did not iron it, I hung it straight out of the box, no creases are visible as there is a brick in the picture. In addition, the folds are smoothed out after hanging. I used gold pins for hanging because the command clips weren't strong enough. The golden buttons blend in well with the background. The material has a comfortable weight, not a cheap feel. Also, the painting is bold with colors that add warmth to the space. I'm impressed that the colors haven't faded despite the large background. It was a good buy. I can do this every year lol.
