The wallpaper is beautiful. It's has a foil background which is mild because of the weave.

beautiful and very good quality

I'm an artist and used this paper to paint on top of to resemble a super pricey high-end paper. It worked like a charm and the clients loved it!!

Really beautiful quality. very elegant looking. Looks like a tight woven basket!

This wallpaper is absolutely beautiful in every way. REAL woven crosshatch grasscloth - not the fake kind. In person the crosshatch pattern coloring also has a very pale gray in addition to the obvious color you see online. Very neutral and pleasing to the eye. I also love the crosshatch pattern as it does not show the seams between the strips as is the case with traditional horizontal grasscloth. I highly recommend this York VG4422 pattern!
