we’ll packaged and protected, could have come with install instructions, but that is easy enough to find online. great quality product, easy to work with and install, was actually quite easy to avoid wrinkles, which was my biggest fear. material is slightly stretchy, but not overly, and is quite thick. i was also afraid that the back braces would show through, but they don’t due to the black backing and nice taught fabric.i set up a 8’ wide 16/9 screen in a 10’x12’ room with 5.1 sound. picture quality of the screen is excellent and well worth the $. i was hoping for a bit less ambient light reflection in the room, but it is reduced from the temporary white wall.image is much less washed out during the day, but still not great without blackout curtains reducing 90+% of the outside light.
