I have recently ordered this poster because my wall was so bare. I can only say it looks great !!! From paper view, it is completely normal poster paper, so thicker / stiffer than normal eg printing paper and coated so that it reflects light (but does not interfere). The only problem was the installation: I had already precaution specially concerned Posters bonding trips, because I did not want wrinkles or the poster sags (also disturb me this Pinnnadeln). Despite the odd very long time before I had the poster on the wall, probably because it is really huge. Now that there but hangs on the wall, it looks really awesome, it can only recommend. So if "The Lord of the Rings" like and have always wanted to have this on the wall a beautiful poster, which I can only recommend this piece ...
