Personal Review and Suggestion
I recently covered my old coffee table with a beautiful floral wallpaper and I am thrilled with the results! It was an easy and affordable way to give new life to a piece of furniture that was otherwise outdated and boring. I have received many compliments on the unique and stylish look of my coffee table. My only suggestion would be to make sure the adhesive is completely dry before using the table, as I accidentally left a few marks from my coffee cup.
