Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read some reviews that said this product was great and some that said it was awful. I read some that said that the contact paper on the back ripped when the customer tried to peel it off, and some that said that chalk didn't actually write on it. I received my blackboard sticker today in the mail. It was well-packaged. It was promptly delivered, even considering the fact that I bought it with free shipping. I placed the order exactly one week ago, in the evening, and opted for the free shipping (5-8 business days). The contact paper peeled off with ease. If you know what you are doing and are even the slightest bit careful, the product will not fold back over on itself or have bubbles when applied to the wall. I used an old gift card to scrape along the top and ensure that no bubbles were trapped underneath. I also used a level to make sure that it was straight. As for the board itself, you can absolutely write on it with chalk, and the chalk provided (5 sticks) works like a charm. It writes on it just like it would on the chalkboards from elementary school. I was a bit skeptical about whether or not it would actually accept chalk when I unrolled it, because the surface doesn't seem like it would. But it does. One last thing I think is important to note, for those who are curious about freshly-painted walls: I painted my walls last Sunday evening (it is Saturday, so that was 6 days ago). It stuck very well, and is not peeling off. I applied it about 5 hours ago. If the product does start to peel, I will give an update to this review, but so far, so good! A+, 10/10, especially considering the price.
