I was very pleased with this purchase. The 9 foot by 6 foot six inch map arrived well packaged in a shipping tube and came with a decent set of instructions.
It was in three separate sheets which need to be very carefully aligned on the wall so that the details (roads, rivers and so on) all line up. Be aware that you will need to trim the adjoining edges. That's a simple task with a sharp utility knife and a straightedge.
The map is printed on substantial paper stock. To apply wallpaper adhesive We laid each section of the map face down on a sheet of plywood sitting on sawhorses. Then we applied a section to the wall using a wide wallpaper brush to smooth out the bubbles. It was not
difficult to move it around on the wall to get it aligned exactly. There were a lot of very small irregularities after we
had finished. But they had almost all disappeared by the next day as the adhesive dried out. We ran a small roller (actually an old furniture caster) up and down the seams as a finishing touch.
This was a new experience for us, but even as amateurs, it was a big success. We just had to take our time and be very
careful. Thinking ahead and planning each move is essential.
It is a fantastic mural for a kid's bedroom wall,an office or garage.

I had this map installed over the coffee service counter in a church that focuses on changing the world through missions and ministry. A pro wallpaper installer hung it and said it was good quality, and easy to hang. That being said, there was a lot of double-cutting, matching and trimming, so hanging it is not for amateurs. The pro cut "V" notches in the white "seam allowance" to be able to match the pieces before double-cutting with a sharp blade. It seemed to have a nice washable surface. The only thing that surprised me about the map was that the colors are MUCH more brilliant than the antiqued-look shown on the website. The colors are pretty saturated, so I painted the walls Benjamin Moore's "Cappuccino Muffin:#1155" and because all of the white border was removed, it looks wonderful! I had a black counter installed under it, and because the ceilings weren't that tall, the bottom of the map got trimmed off, but it made no difference because we still had the "important parts" exposed. Not only is it geographically correct, it is attractive. It created an exciting stir among the visitors and staff as they saw it going up. It has become the "focal point" people are drawn to as they pass the room!

Comes in 3 separate pieces, the middle one has to have the white trimmed off to look seamless. Took a little while to align all 3 so that it looks complete, but after its up it looks amazing. Our office is now legit.

This mural came in two pieces so I needed help getting it on the wall, but essentially it was quite easy since all we had to do was soak it a bit and slap it on. Aligning the two halves were a little bit tricky but once done, you really couldn't tell it was two pieces. I'm looking at it on the wall right now in fact and it's been up for months and still looks great.

I only gave this map three stars because 1- it did not come with the paste as the description states and we had to pay $30 for the correct paste to hang 2- this map was WAY larger than described! Finished dimensions were just shy of 14 feet by 9 feet.
We had to remove the bottom part of the map to fit onto the wall. It took us 2.5 hours to trim before install. Each of the 8 sections has a white border of approx .5 in that has to be removed to the edges match up. Make sure you have a large enough area to accommodate and a straight edge. Took 4 hours to install. You must let the paste sit on each panel for 10 minutes before hanging because they will expand about an inch. The other issue is as we were wiping the excess paste, the color was coming off onto our rag. We did trim our map with 1" trim to secure the edges as it is in a child's room.
I will say it looks amazing and I do not regret this purchase. More work than expected but be patient!
