First off, the colors on this backdrop are *stunning*. I unrolled it for my niece’s mermaid-themed birthday party, and the coral reefs and tropical fish popped like a real aquarium. The vinyl material feels durable—no tears when we pinned it up, and the print didn’t smudge even after kids accidentally brushed against it.

Hanging it was a breeze. We used clips (not included) to attach it to a curtain rod, and the lightweight fabric didn’t sag. Note: There’s a few wrinkles from shipping, but 10 minutes with a low-heat iron on the *backside* made it look flawless. (Pro tip: Do this before your event!)

I was skeptical about the ‘non-reflective’ claim, but it held up under studio lights—no weird glare in photos. My favorite shot? The kids ‘swimming’ in front of it with DIY cardboard fins. The backdrop made their costumes look legit!

One surprise: My sister loved it so much she stole it afterward for her baby’s nursery wall. It’s been months, and the colors haven’t faded—even near a sunny window. Just avoid water (it’s not waterproof) and you’re golden.

For the price? 10/10. Way cheaper than custom murals, and way more versatile than I expected.
