***general overview***

A very nice wall mural for little girls who dream of being princesses(just about every girl?). Matches well with warm/pastel colors most little princesses prefer. The application is not easy, though, by one or even two people. A nice castle mural that our little girl absolutely loves...

***more detailed review***

we bought this for our daughter when she turned 6. She wanted us to paint her room pink AND purple but we settled on very soft pink(not HOT PINK like she wanted, whew).

We bought this mural because its color schematics matched well with the color that we chose as well as future color schematics that we'd be choosing(primary colors with softer tones such as blue works well with this castle).

It came rolled up and we had to reverse roll it to smooth it out a bit.

It was a bit big for one person to handle as I was being stubborn when my wife offered to help but I told her that I could do it, after all, this is just a peel and stick, and I am a MAN, right??

Well, not so fast...

It comes in three pieces...Center, right and left side.

I decided to eyeball the center of the wall and decided where to place the center piece without any measurement or marks (I would highly recommend anyone to NOT do this!!). Well, my eyes must have been crossed because the castle was NOT in the center and peeling it off and putting it back on a few times really DID a little bit of damage to this castle but I must say that the blame falls on me because I got impatient with each adjustment.

Just peeling it off the plastic backing alone made me sweat already because of the tiny "flag" that were fragile and I accidentally broke it. But I figured that I'd just "stick" and "match" it once I'd get the main part on.

It was a struggle to try to peel it off with it not sticking together in some areas and then trying to pry it open made me sweat more...(I would highly recommend having two people so the product doesn't stick to itself, it is a pain in the (_!_) to try to unstick itself)

after about 20 minutes of fumbling, I finally got the whole center part opened up but then realized that I was too short (I am 5'7") for where I'd wanted to place the castle...

I then went to get a ladder, eyeballed the center, stuck it on, tried to "iron" the bubbles out with my hands and once I'd gotten it on, I realized that it was crooked...

peeling it off the wall wasn't easy either, I broke off some more parts, stuck some parts together, again...sweated some more, and finally, got the center piece spread on the floor. And cursed it for being a very naughty castle...felt worse than swimming over a moat full of alligators and sharks...

I got smart this time, went to get a tape measurer, measured out the dimensions, measured out the center piece, got my wife's help, and with the two of us, it still got stuck together but was easier this time because my wife has nice nails and is a SMART woman and knew to do her best to not to get the material to stick to itself.

we then tried to piece the parts that I, the dumb husband broke off and tried to match it the best that I could...

from a distance, and from a 6 yo's view, it was perfect, but I KNEW where the parts broke off and upon close examination, one could see where the fissures were...

My wife helped with the other two parts of the castle and while it wasn't as hard, it wasn't as easy either as we tried the best to stick on, peel off, adjust, place back on, quite a few times until it was as seamless as possible...

if one is a perfectionist, they might put it on,peel it off, put it back on a few times to get that perfect match. I can tell you right now, that's not going to happen with the way they had factory cut this thing...

but overall, our little princess was happy after the mama and the papa worked on this project on monday monday when all the leaves were green and didn't finish until Friday Friday when all the leaves were brown...

but the smile on her face was well worth it...

We placed glowed in the dark stars above the castle as well as purchased the Disney Princess peel and stick (which is another story in and of itself) and her room is now the most desirable room in the house...

ahhh....what any parents wouldn't do for the big smile and dreams for their little girl(s)...

I purchased this item for my daughter's bedroom. We have promised when she turned 6 that we would redo her room. She decided on a princess castle room. This princess mural added the finishing touches to her room. She absolutely loves it and the best part was it was priced just right and went up very easily. Thanks.

This decal, along with other Disney Princess ones, looks awesome on my daughter's bedroom wall. Instead of repainting her room to update the look, we put this up, and she just loves it. However, we recently bought her a new bed that required some furniture rearranging, and in attempting to move the decal, the paint and drywall started coming up with it. Granted, maybe we have cheap paint and/or drywall, I don't know, but I was really disappointed that not only does the decal have to stay put where we originally placed it, but we have to be prepared to fix our wall when it comes down permanently. So 3* because it's very cute and easy to place and maneuver at first application, but not so hot 6 months later. Be prepared you might have painting or drywall-patching in your future.

This is very pretty once it is put up. It is in 3 pieces, not 2 as this ad states and the sides do not line up as well as I think they should have. However, once it is up, it is very pretty on the wall and looks much better than something I could have painted. The pieces do stick to themselves when sticking to the wall and will tear easily. It might be better if 2 people put it up.

Really nice quality Disney castle. My daughter loves it. It was just right. If she changes her tastes, I can just take it down without having to repaint. My 10 year old put it up on the wall for her little sister's birthday surprise. It's in her bedroom. It did tend to stick to itself. It would be easier for two people to do or to have some masking tape available to hold the top up until its stuck. This way, you can put it where you want it. It comes in 3 parts. One sheet has the middle. The second sheet has two parts, the left and right side of the castle. They form one nice castle. Over all, a good buy. The color is muted and the castle is lovely.

My daughter just adores it- it is on the wall behind her bed and she feels like the princess she it.

Very nice quality - only thing I didnt like was the packaging - wish it came rolled up in a tube - rather than folded up in a package.

Great castle mural!! A bit challenging to install without having parts stick to themselves, but it is so cool when it is up! It looks like a hand painted wall design when it is completed. Really nice and fairly easy to do.

Good quality, muted colors - looks perfect on the yellow wall. We have the castle, princesses (Aurora, Belle, SnowWhite) and Ariel stickers on the wall. It would look great with all of them or any combination. The only problem I had with it is the fact that my daugther (5 years old) was helping and took the whole middle part completely from the sheet and, of course, it stuck to itself. So be carefull and start from the bottom up putting it on the wall. The castle takes about 1/3 of the wall in height.

Was very cute but it is very hard to put up. Not sure if it would be that much better with two people. The middle section is so big if you get a bubble in it, it is very hard to keep pulling it off and and smoothing it out because it seems like it is getting streched out.

Take your time!

It's beautiful! However, I tried putting the castle on a typical wall in the kids room and within 2 days half of it unstuck and was falling down :( I had to buy poster board, stick it to that and then tack it to the wall. But it still looks really good in their room!
