Hmmmmmmm...
This is a difficult review. First I have to say...I think they're on to something but need to refine the product.
Second, it's SUPER difficult to get the edging to line up right to each square - they can NOT overlap (totally noticeable). Meaning, you have to slowly and meticulously cut each and EVERY side to match the space between the "bricks" inside the square itself. If you're off even a little bit, it's totally obvious. Each square's side is totally different (yes all 4 sides!!), the edging isn't even straight and definitely do NOT match the next piece. If you were only going to do one row (so you're only doing one square side by side instead of the entire wall) and have a chair rail or some type of break between the top of the squares and the rest of the wall, it will take you less time, but still... I assumed each square, sides and all, were universally the same, so I put the first square right up. Needless to say, when I tried to line up the next square, that's when I noticed it was not the same, so I had to remove the first square - to the garbage it went (they can not be pulled off and reused). Then I laid the squares out together on the floor, that's when I noticed how each one was different. They are still laying in a heap on the floor of my office because I have not had the time it's going to obviously take to do one row, of about 25 feet of wall. I may just end up painting the cheesy wood paneling and be done with it.
The product itself? They're obviously not brick, but from a distance they do kinda look real. I think that in a small office, small bedroom, laundry room, it might just look okay, if done right. In my opinion, it's a bit too cheesy for a main room (living room, kitchen, dining room, sun room, etc). Due to the material, I would NOT recommend it in a bathroom with a shower/bath. I have not tried to paint them, but knowing a bit about painting, unless you used a spayer (NOT spray can) and put primer first... it just might be doable, but would definitely harden them and I recommend doing it after installation.
I gave this product (3D brick wall stickers, white) 2 stars because, I think that if I had the time, or paid someone else to do it, they "might" look okay in my 8'x20' office.
