I needed something to cover the shelves of a cabinet I bought for storing kitchen appliances. It;s thick enough to install easily and, so far, hasn't torn when appliances are pulled off the shelf.

I used this to create a background on a re-finished bookcase- looks great!

I purchased this for the sit to stand desk that I recently got to dress it up a bit and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

The contact paper is thick and great quality. It does not easily tear and easy to install! Adhesion is amazing! Easy peel yet, would stick again with no problem! Glossy finish and seemless look!

INSTALLATION TIPS:

PLAN BEFORE YOU STICK. Cut your materials and lay it how you want it first and give enough room for edges.

CLEAN YOUR AREA. Wipe with a cleaner or whatever you wanna use but wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth so you don't have small particles laying around as this will leave bubbles.

START IN THE BACK! So you can get a feel for how to install it. How you want your corners folded etc.

STAY CALM & BE PATIENT. Things can get overwhelming easily specially if youre working on a bigger space. Keep things neat and apply small sections only to avoid wrinkles or bubbles.

ROLL IT! Roll the piece that you're going to use the other way so you'll have better control while applying. Roll carefully so you dont create creases and folds. This will appear on your desk and hard to smooth out.

PEEL IT. Peel small sections only! I peel abt 2 inches at a time. I carefully apply the adhesive part on the corner of my desk allowing extra inchb to be folded underneath.

WIPE IT. Use microfiber cloth to wipe as you apply. Wipe with pressure but carefully. I wipe as I go meaning I've got pressure on my left hand while wiping on up and down motion to smooth out any bubbles while peeling the back paper with my right hand.

ROLL IT AGAIN. Roll back paper (the one on your right hand) as you go so you have less clutter.

CUT IT. Cut a small piece to patch the corners of your desk. This will conceal all the folds you have there.

See pics for visuals. Hope this helps! :)

Look, you're not going to get 100% exactly looking like marble. But if you want them to still looks great this is your product.

This is the best contact paper I've ever used. Other contact papers stretch too much, which leads to bubbles and creases that you can't get out. This one doesn't stretch at all! The bond is extremely strong, which is great for long lasting results, but it also means you should be careful when you're applying it, because once it's on, it's on. Start in one corner and lay it down slowly. It CAN be peeled off to start over, but it's pretty difficult. I was applying it to wood. I would imagine if you tried to peel it off of a painted surface, it would peel the paint off. Finally, the glossy finish makes it easy to wipe clean!
