5.0 out of 5 stars RichNazPA: Delighted with USA Classic Wall Map, March 22, 2010

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.

Take the time to lay everything out beforehand and recognize that you will spend at least $20 on wallpaper adhesive and any other standard wallpaper/painting supplies you might not have, but if done correctly it looks great! Very nice addition to my office.
