Okay, so I just finished decorating my rental bathroom with these TaoBary foam trims and... wow, what a rollercoaster experience!
The good stuff first: These are CRAZY sticky right out of the package. Like 'I accidentally touched two pieces together and now they're married forever' sticky. The 3D effect looks surprisingly elegant - way better than the price suggests. I used them as cabinet framing and got compliments from my landlord (who's usually super critical).
BUT here's the tea: You absolutely MUST prep your surface perfectly. I learned the hard way that any dust = instant peeling disaster. Also, measure twice because once this stuff sticks, it's basically permanent unless you want to repaint your walls.
Pro tip: Keep a hairdryer handy! When I messed up an alignment, gentle heat helped me reposition without tearing. And yes, they do look like fancy wood from 3 feet away - just don't expect real molding quality.
Final verdict? Amazing for renters and temporary decor, but maybe not for high-traffic areas. Would buy again (with extra adhesive just in case)!
