RoomMates York Wallcoverings ZB3347 Wide Wooden Planks Wallpaper, Gray/Black/Off White

Our daughter wanted shiplap on a wall in her bedroom, and the good parents we are, we set out to explore a solution. In our dining room, we did a painted MDF-core plywood shiplap that turned out pretty good. But for the bedroom outside wall, it was really a toss up of putting lots of holes in the wall, or putting up wallpaper. We thought we would never touch wallpaper again after removing all of it from our house.If you look at the Magnolia wallpaper on Amazon, you apply the rolls vertically to get a horizontal wood pattern. In this York wallpaper, you apply the rolls horizontally to get a horizontal wood pattern. So although the York pattern repeats every couple of feel, you don't end up with mismatched wood grain. In some of the Magnolia review pictures, you can see short bits of "wood", where the edges mate up, but the wood pattern just abruptly stops.Being a handy person, but not having applied wallpaper before, it wasn't too bad. The biggest difficulty was hanging an 11 foot long piece horizontally, rather than vertically. It took two of us to hold it.Perhaps some extra instructions, wet it pretty thoroughly. We used a water spray bottle and followed directions closely. But it didn't stick. After spraying more water, and waiting a little longer, it went fine. After more liberal sprays of water, and waiting longer, each piece went up great. Like regular wallpaper, it tears and creases fairly easily.We used a plastic scraper that is cheaper at Menards ($1.50ish) compared to $5ish on Amazon to get the bubbles out. This is important, do it well! Make sure your utility knife is sharp too. The reason is that the paper gets a little gummy and easily tear-able when it's wet. We did it on a nice and clean drop cloth to somewhat protect the carpet, but more so to keep the wet wallpaper really clean. We didn't want hair or fuzzies getting on it.One thing we splurged on was buying Zinsser Shieldz Universal Wallcovering Primer Sealer. We (or the next homeowners) won't know for a while whether it was worth it, but other research seemed to point to this being a very helpful and good step for drywall mounting, for much better application and removal later on.Sorry for the poor quality photos. But hopefully they get the point across.Would we recommend this? You bet!

Overall, I’m really happy with the quality of the paper, ease of application and the finished look. I do wish it was easier to trim the edges. I used a sharp razor blade and it would still snag at times in some spots. This is likely due to the thickness of the paper itself , which, considering the price Per roll, Is still a good deal! But i was able to make to work and look good. I used water to wet the glue on the back of the paper and then applied additional glue to the wall and this worked great for adhesion and made the paper “workable” during application. I thought the price was great and overall this was a fairly inexpensive and easy way to spruce up a wall. I would buy again and recommend to others.

I ordered wallpaper from you that came from York,PA and the first two double rolls were fine but I ran out so I ordered two more double rolls to finish my den. The last rolls were not as good as the first. The color that was under the wallpaper bleed through and now my den doesn't look as good as I would have liked. I got in touch with the York wallpaper company and they told me to get in touch with you. Hope you can help me out. Thank You JoAnn

It is great wallpaper, good quality and really easy to install! I applied it horizontally in my office on one wall, and it did not take very long to do. I purchased a primer from the hardware store and applied that to the wall beforehand, and also had to remove the texture and smooth out the wall prior to applying. It comes pre-pasted, so all you have to do is get it wet and smooth it on. The instructions say to spray it but I purchased a wallpaper wetting tray because spraying it did not get it wet enough, and the tray worked perfectly! I did have to watch a few you tube videos on how to apply it with the tray instead of spraying it though.My one complaint about this wallpaper is that the pattern is repetitive (I am sure all wallpaper is) and I wish the wood boards had an end and were staggered. Instead they are just one long board pattern that never ends. Other than that, it is fantastic and I love it!

Excellent product! May be a little more expensive but well worth it. Looks even better than the description. Highly recommend this product and the company that makes it! Easy to apply, glue actually sticks when activated with water. easy to move and adjust before it dries. Once dried its on there. I was shocked.When you buy cheap, you get cheap.

Wanted the look of shiplap/barnwood without the expense - this wall paper was the answer. I've never wallpapered before, and it went up without any issue at all. I hung it horizontally, which did require my husbands help holding it up, but other than that - no issues, and it looks AMAZING on my daughter's bedroom wall. She is thrilled with it, and even up close/in person it looks very realistic! I may use this in other rooms in my home, I love it that much! The second picture makes it look dark (was taken at night) but in real life it's a very light greyish color - very pretty!

Aboslutely love this product! I'll have to post up pictures of my accent wall. This wallpaper was pre-pasted so all that I had to do was use a spray bottle to get it all wet (make sure you emphasize the edges as well so that it seals the deal onto the wall) and then placed it on the wall to hang. It was easy to trim everything as well since all you did was use a straight edge to create a crease, then slightly peel it back from the wall, trim and then push back. Was a fun product to use for my project since it was super easy! Now I'm trying to figure out what wall I can do next. :)

I love love love how this turned out. I put it in my laundry room. I hung it horizontally so it would look like shiplap. Every single person has thought it was real wood and had to actually touch it to believe me when I told them it was wallpaper. The paper is a nice heavy weight so it doesn't tear as you are handling it. There is plenty of paste on it so no need to add any. I've hung lots of wallpaper over the years and this one was a breeze to work with.

This wallpaper looks amazing! I was worried when I ordered it because it came in two shipments that the lot numbers wouldn't be the same. But they were! The wallpaper went on well. No issues.

I bought this because I loved the design and most of the reviews were good. I followed the instructions very carefully and watched videos. This paper would NOT stick, especially the edges. The paste on the edges kept drying out and the edges of the paper would come out. There were also a lot of creases and air bubbles that we were unable to fix with our smoothing tool. It did not look nice and when I took it off (minutes later), the paint from the wall ripped off. I ended up buying “peel and stick” from a local store, which was 100 times easier and it looks amazing. I’m upset that I had to waste my money on this wallpaper. I recommend buying peel and stick or self-adhesive instead.
