This banner is very beautiful live. It was the perfect setting for my sister's 50th birthday. The photos in front of him turned out very nice. We had a party outside so we added a strip of tape to the top to make it more tear resistant when we hung it up. It was a bit windy that night and we were afraid it would break. We only did this as a precaution. Otherwise it was just perfect for the occasion and arrived in one day. Highly recommended.
