This background was perfect for my daughter's children's party. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's beautiful, thick and durable, so you don't have to worry about it tearing or getting damaged when you wash it. When unpacking I had creases, but after standing for a while everything was fine. We hung twinkle lights on a background stand behind the banner and the stars looked like they were twinkling (except when you get into a well-lit room, they're hard to see). Overall we got so many compliments on this product and it looked beautiful, I highly recommend it!
