Manufacturing flaws made an impossibly difficult install absolutely futile
I'm an artist/maker, pretty darn DIY savvy. This was manufactured poorly and impossible to install. You can not lift up to remove air bubbles as it adheres too well and stretches the paper. Tried a hair dryer (mine doesn't get very hot) stretched the paper. You get a wrinkled mess when you try to lay that area back down. Since the product is rolled design side up, the roll stays frustratingly curled under, and works against you. I cut and restarted 5 times before I got 3 feet down smoothly, only to find the product was wrinkled in places on the roll during manufacturing. Those places that had been wrinkled as it was applied to the backing, would not come out, like they were heat set in.We ended up buying and installing new countertops, over Christmas, as I'd spent the entire day before prepping the old surface, sanding and filling chipped edges in preparation of this product. The old counters now looked truly horrible.If this were a thicker, more vinyl type product instead of glossy paper sticker, it would be a great idea. If you're doing a small surface that won't get wet, I'd say it was worth a try. But cross your fingers you don't recieve a roll that has hard edged wrinkles set into it.

You won’t be disappointed
The pictures don’t do this justice! I was really hesitant to try this. I’m so glad I did! It looks like real marble and is a nice glossy finish just like real sealed marble countertops look like (for a reference idea)I bought this to cover my countertops in my kitchen as a temp fix till we actually rip our kitchen apart and redo it in a few years. We have a lot of younger kids in and out of our house and our own children constantly so I don’t want to spend money on things that are just going to get ruined lolThis 100% was exactly what I was looking for! It looks high end and yet is affordable enough that if the kids take a permanent marker to it, it’s easily replaced.Great product. Highly recommend if you just want something on a high traffic surface for a couple years....would probably last forever on a wall or furniture.Don’t hesitate just buy it!

Worthless paper
It's very pretty paper and it is thick but thats about all it has going for it. It is hard to work with even with 2 people, one having experience with vinyling a motorcycle. A countertop should be somewhat easier, nope! It took 7 hours just to get one side on and we took the whole countertop off to make it easier to install. After you roll out the paper to measure and let it roll back up there somehow is creases?? What? I went through one entire roll (wasted a whole roll! What a shame!) trying to figure the whole process out, not getting the creases, how to maneuver to not get creases in the next roll before we lay it down, can we smooth out the creases once it is applied to the countertop? (Answer is no) It is also incredibly hard to work with around corners, yes most vinyl is but this one is especially. Heating it up helps but not like the other types. Now it has been installed for about a month and it has already started to crack in a spot (where a crease was!) and on the edge it has come off. We have been so careful with these countertops since we just found out we need to sell our house and move out of state. We installed and then found out we need to sell, perfect! Fresh countertops right? Wrong! I feel so bad that these next owners will have to deal with these. I don't have time to rip this off and buy new countertops. Save your money!! Don't buy this!

Looks good, semi easy to use.
We like the pattern and the feel of the product. I wish the adhesive was a big stronger and I noticed the adhesive when exposed to the air lost half its sticking power so you have to be super quick with it once you peel the back off. It does not work well if you have even the slightest uneven piece and it was very hard to get the bubbles and wrinckles out. Even tho I made lots of mistakes while applying it to my project it does look good even when the pattern is misaligned my wife is happy for now. This is still great for ultra smooth counter tops or walls maybe IKEA stuff would be easy to cover with this.

Easy to install
I bought this to fix up my vanity a little bit. My husband installed it for me. It seems to hold up pretty well. I’m careful to not bump the edges so it will last longer. So far it’s still in good condition. It was easy to install and serves its purpose. We installed it a couple months ago. I would definitely recommend for small projects like this.

Very nice!!
The media could not be loaded. This contact paper has a nice thickness and a very nice glossy finish and I love that! The adhesive is pretty strong for the most part and the back of the paper has a grid great for precise cutting!Cons: I used this paper on both my fireplace and a file cabinet. At the botto of the file cabinet drawers the paper is coming up! When I open and or close the drawer, I always have to hold the edge down!Still overall, I’d recommend it!

Thicker than most
I would recommend getting the wider if doing a big project otherwise very difficult and noticeable if the pattern is not matched up correctly. Other then that very beautiful. I should have gotten the wider one for the bigger cabinet doors which I intend do and redo the two cabinets also to go over it at least twice for any bubbles that might have been over looked especially if working on it at night like I have. Their quality is one of the best this is my 6 or 7 purchase from them won't be the last.

Affordable Transformation
Faux marble vinyl stickers are IT. The pattern blends well, so mistakes are pretty easy to hide/fix. I used this to cover the kitchen countertop in my rental apartment. So far, so good!
