Side by Side Comparison of: The Macbeth Collection vs Rust-Oleum vs Con-Tact vs X-Acto

I used this as a removable wallpaper for a retro themed room. This paper was applied to the door and the walls. It's a bit thinner than traditional removable / peel off wallpaper but held up really wel!! It looked great and held up for the 2 years I had it up with absolutely no peeling off etc. I imagine it would hold up equally well for other uses such as as a traditional shelf liner for shelves as well! When I took it off, it didn't peel any of the paint off with it which was perfect!

This contact paper worked great! No need to take the extra steps that were described above. I used it to line the inside of my kitchen drawers and the bottom shelf of the cabinets. The back of the paper has a grid which makes it easy for cutting. Make sure you have some sort of plastic scraper to be able to smooth out the bubbles. I won't lie, the project took me a few hours mostly because removing the drawers was arduous but the project was worth it. Everyone who opens my drawers in the kitchen compliments the splash of color/pattern. I decided to do this because the previous owners had used the rubber pads which ended up fusing to the wood and still left food/spice/oil stains on the wood because they leak through the holes in the rubber mat. For kitchens, I highly recommend the time to cut contact paper which easier to wipe up and protects the wood.

I bought these to line some drawers. I did read various reviews on white liners where people were commenting that several liners turned out to be pretty transparent. This one pretty much covers and doesn't really show any marks from whatever you cover pretty pleased with the outcome. I have included a couple of pics showing that I covered directly on unpainted wood from inside the drawers

Love contact paper. Economical, removable, attractive, easy to work with....what more could you ask for?!! I will give you the most IMPORTANT tip you'll ever learn when applying any type of sticky/contact paper.....WATER, WATER AND MORE WATER!!!!! I know it sounds like it won't stick after applying water, but quite the contrary. Okay, after you've cut your dimensions, or leave it larger and trim-up later, peel the backing paper and spray/soak the sticky side of the contact paper. Then spray/soak the surface that you're applying the paper to. This technique allows for easy repositioning and is much more forgiving than dry application. When the paper is positioned correctly, start in the middle, work your way to the edges and smooth it out such as you would with wallpaper, I use a smooth plastic wallpaper spatula.....metal tends to rip the contact paper quite easily. When you have all your lines and bubbles out, wipe off the excess water and stand back and admire (pics attached). My purpose for this particular order of contact paper was to cover our four flights of stair risers. Each 2 pack covered 8 stair risers which were 7" H x 39 1/4" W.....almost has enough to do 2 more stair risers but the stairs were just too wide. You would probably get 10 risers if they were 38" W or less. I hope this information helps. Have a great day!!

I ordered these shelf liners to actually use to up do my baby nursery very cute they stick very well look great and very easy to cut with the grid pattern on the back to help with measuring I would recommend these to family and friends and will probably be ordering more

This sucked doing both bathrooms by myself but it looks great!

The 2 pack is a great value and I love the pattern. However, this was a bit more difficult to work with than I had anticipated. I measured the drawers I was lining but when I cut the liner it never seemed to be the correct size, even though I was using the grid lines AND measured with the tape measure as well. So I had to cut some thin strips to patch up the sides where the pieces I cut were not big enough to fit in the drawer bottom. However, the material is very forgiving and it was easy to smooth out bubbles.

Wish it was turned the other way but I love this stuff. Will post photos tomorrow. Super cute easy affordable way to update my file cabinets and desk!! A pain in the rear to put up some I recommend extra hands and a old credit card or something the likes to help make putting it on and less air bubbles

This was okay. The color was good but it was a little hard to work with because the paper is thin. But it looks great on. I used it to cover the front of my file cabinet.

I got the teal chevron pattern and was pleased to find the pattern was horizontal and not vertical (because that made it easier for my project). Because it is advertised as vertical I give 4 stars. It was super easy to apply (peeled an inch at a time and stick it from the middle towards the edges to best fight bubbles and creases). I put it on a black surface but the colors came out bright and beautiful. Will definitely buy from this brand again for future projects!

This completely transformed my kitchen cabinets in our rental home. Smaller pieces do fall off though after time, which is why I deducted a star. However EVERYONE comments on them.

What a pain to get in the drawers. But once it is in, It looks awesome! Someone told me to use a small soft paint roller and roll the bubbles out as you go, wish i would have known that before hand.

I gave this 3 stars because even though it's cute it's just not what I expected.It's thin and almost transparent. You can see where I didn't paint on my shelves.It's almost like sticky Christmas wrapping paper. I put it on my shelves and bathroom drawers and I'm wondering if it will even last . I've ordered stuff like this before that was much thicker. It was a little bit of a challenge because of how thin it is it kept wrinkling. Won't be buying that again and also I had to buy the two pack, it don't give me any other option.

Difficult to reposition. I believe this is good for decorating, but was extremely difficult to use as shelf liner. It is thicker and stickier than Contact. However, Contact is much easier to reposition, measure, get bubbles out and cut for drawer/shelf liner.

Instructions are written in the way of the cutting lines on the back. Like every 6 inches they put a 6x6" instruction over and over on the cutting lines on the back and so every 6 inches you have to get a ruler and draw a straight line so that you can cut it straight. This is ridiculous! Sticks fine and and would get 5 stars if it weren't the only brand I've bought so far that does this! Really slows me down compared to the others I bought for the other closet shelves.

I got this contact paper for my bathroom drawer and cabinets. My bathroom is black, white, and grey with just a hint of yellow so this would match perfectly. It does; however, it doesn't stick to wood, or walls, or paint, or anything really, but paper. Cutting it was awful to begin with because the contact paper doesn't even stick to the backing it is on in the first place so when you unroll it to measure and cut it, you already have bumps and air bubbles. Maybe what I got was a bad batch. But I was able to stick down to some poster board and it came out nice, so I can't complain too much about it now. It looks pretty and does it's job, that's what counts.

Edit: I'm actually dropping a star for my review. I applied this and mentioned that there were some cracks in between. Understandable, it's not really a wall liner, so I don't expect it to look perfect, just a temporary fix for me. However, the liner has shrunk even more than I previously stated, so the cracks in between the applications are much more obvious to the eye. If you were trying to use this to line a shelf or drawer, there would be a similar result, which isn't a huge deal, but I think something that should be known before purchasing.Looks great. I used this in a rental home as the covering for the wall where a backsplash might normally go in the kitchen. My plan is to remove this when I leave, and not have to worry about scrubbing food particles or grease stains off of the wall, like I have been for the last few years.The main complaint that I have is that it seems to have shrunk somewhat after a couple days of being on the wall. Some of the places I had to overlap the liner because I didn't cut and measure it all the way through (I wasn't sure if I would like how it looked, so I measured and cut one wall at a time, I had potentially 3 walls to cover). In the areas where it was overlapped, it looks great still, but in the areas where I lined it up right next to each other, but didn't overlap the design, there is now a think strip of wall showing. I still have enough of the liner left that I may try to overlap it now (again, to make cleaning easier), but I'm not sure. it's not terrible looking, and it's just barely noticeable at first glance.Overall, I like the design. The chevrons run horizontally the long way, NOT the way it's shown in the product image.I'm happy with it overall though, and I'm glad I decided to do this. It makes my little rental home kitchen look very modern, and it breaks up the all-white kitchen very nicely. I am strongly considering getting another 2 rolls to line the shelves and drawers in the kitchen!

Another reviewer is correct - the chevron pattern runs the opposite direction from what is pictured. It runs vertically, not horizontally. I bought an IKEA Besta bookcase and attached the shelf liner to the back piece before assembling the unit. Since I wanted the chevron pattern to run horizontally across the back of the bookcase I had to cut pieces of the liner the width of the bookcase backing and stick them on from top to bottom. It was somewhat difficult to match the pattern to the piece above and get it straight with no air bubbles. Since it's in my closet and used for shoe storage it looks fine. One roll of shelf liner was just enough for this bookcase.

Has started peeling off after applying it a little under two years ago. That seems like a while, but when you purchase adhesive drawer liners you don't plan on replacing them annually.

Pretty, but a bit on the flimsy side.Pros:1.) Relatively easy to install. It's not as sticky as Con-Tac brand, which makes it a bit easier to install2.) Pretty DesignCons:1.) Flimsy. One piece ripped when I pulled it up to reattach (it had not been pressed securely down yet). After I had pressed it securely down, another piece tore when I slid canned food across it.2.) Pay attention to length. This was my fault. Seemed like I was getting a deal, but these are actually only 10' long, less than 1/2 the length og most rolls. I ran out quickly just doing one fairly small pantry.Despite the cons, I was going to reorder just so I could finish the one small job I bought these for. Unfortunately, the design was discontinued and unavailable ANYwhere. I considered ordering something close, but will instead be starting over with a different design by a completely different manufacturer. I would not order this brand again for kitchen use.

Looks cool - but the off gassing smell is terrible and above all - it does not stick to anything! It falls right off. Too bad, because the design is great!

I ordered rayna natural and the color looks grey in the picture, but it's a yellowy beige. Completely not what I was expecting. Also, it said it's easy to clean with soap and water so I was expecting more of a laminated paper, this is straight paper so it seems like it will get damaged easily.

I purchased the Rayna Natural color because it appeared to be white and taupe/tan. What I received is very tacky, white with what looks like basketweave. It will not work with my project.Disappointed and miffed because of the delay in completing my project, but I guess I should've stuck with my original plan to use a gray pattern. I will absolutely be returning this.

Cute but extremely hard to apply seamlessly. Had lots of bubbles and creases. The silver lining is that it was to create depth in my cabinet and wouldn't be apply to see flaws.

I bought this because of the good reviews. I've worked with contact paper before and this brand is horrible. It kept coming off the backing making it very wrinkled even before the backing was removed. I wasn't able to use but a small section from the first roll and now I don't have enough to use for my project. Needless to say I won't be buying this brand again.

It's a gift wrapper with adhesive backing. I wonder how come all these people used this to renovate their nightstands or lined their shelves.Absolutely not waterproof. If I'm using it to line my kitchen shelf, I need something that's water resistant if not waterproof​.I would request Amazon or the seller to refund my money for this crap.Con-tact or Duck liners are far more better and worth the price.

FALSE ADVERTISING! It is not 18 inches wide. I bought it to fit the shelving I was covering. It's only 17 3/4 inches wide.Never opened the package so can't review anything else about it. Returned it right away.

Product not as pictured on the packaged and in description the chevrons were all gray but came in gray and black alternating

The quality of the liner is good, and the pattern is attractive, but the dimensions ARE NOT as advertised. The width is only 17.5", not 18", which was very important for my application and created a lot more work for me. Boo.

I was looking for a grey to light grey! This is a very light creamy almond! Not even close. I'm so mad because now I have to return it and wait till next weekend to do my project. 😡
