I wasn't sure what to expect, but this really turned out nice! We used it to make a writing space in a playroom room. It created a nice space for the kids to use chalk. Grab a simple level, tape measure, and pencil to mark where you want it so it's even and you don't have to move it. Smooth the wall by removing any bumps from paint or debris. I unwrapped only the top two corners first to stick it to the wall and then straightened it out and unrolled an inch of the backing. Then, I slowly used a binded edge of a book to slide it back and forth as it unrolled. Go slow, avoid bubbles. The book worked great to smooth it as untolling it!
It is sure to impress your kids! I was able to put on our wall 3 good-sized chalkboards and had a bit leftover to use inside my kitchen cabinet to write grocery items needed. It's easier to put up than you think and turns out better than you expect!
