In reply to Lauren. It seems like it could have been a dumbwaiter. I had one in an apartment in NYC.

In reply to Rachel. I didn't because it's honestly SUCH a subtle difference and our landlords are pretty chill. This is super case by case though!

In reply to leslie. I didn't have any issues with that! The scuffing can definitely happen because it's a bit puffier than a normal wallpaper if that make sense but it's been totally fine to live with and I haven't personally had any issues with that!
