Looks real. Little trouble figuring how to apply on wall.

I really like the quality of the wallpaper but it’s not enough for the area I need it for therefore I’ll return it.

Unfortunately I am returning this item as the colors are much lighter than depicted in the photo. I did choose the darker color choice but it looks more like the photo of the lighter color choice. Not satisfactory for that reason, but it is very sturdy thick wallpaper. Didn't use it so don't know about the adherence.
