I'm thinking of using this in a rental property. Has anyone used it for that purpose? How long has it held up?

If you have a counter that is rounded in the back and goes up a few inches,don't get this. If your counter has a seperate piece for the back splash that has right angles then you will be fine. Check out the how to vids to see what I mean

I love the appearance, however, I would not use in a rental. Knife pricks will escalate to tears without staying on top of them. Also, I am diligent in not setting hot pans on the surface, not sure what the appearance would be if one of your residents were to put a pan down. Like I said, looks great, but would be a lot of work to put in to for each turn.

I installed mine 6 months ago and it is holding up well. I make sure I do not set anything super hot directly on my kitchen countertops. So far, it is holding up quite well and I love the new look it has given my kitchen!

I haven't used this on a rental property. However, I used this in my home. I have a trailer house and used it to update the look of my countertops. I couldn't be happier. It has held up nice. I have cats that jump on the counter and don't see any tears from them. The only thing I make sure of is not to put anything hot on it without a potholder. I believe it said up to 144 degrees. The removal is easy to.

Hi Jennifer, yes. I'm in a rental as we'll and I used it to cover up an ugly backslash in my kitchen. I had to reposition it a cpl times - it just peels right up. Warning though - it crinkles easy and sticks to itself - I recommend 2 people install. Happy holidays! :)

I don't personally do HVAC work (but I am landlord with rental houses, I have flipped a bunch of houses, and installed lots of HVAC, so I am often around it) and I would say this is at least adequate if not perfectly fine for HVAC work. It seems to be sensitive enough to tell the difference within half a degree between say, the cold concrete patio and the leg of patio furniture a foot above the concrete. I think you would be happy with its performance for HVAC work.

I have ours hung up but as a temporary set up I don't think it would heart. But they are a little spendy to run. I'm planning on selling the one I have. Put it in in oct in my shop need to find cheaper source of heat

i'm using it for my bathroom now and it works great! once in our old house the window was in the actual shower and it held up. now we're using it again in a new house with the window being on the outside. so i think you're good!

It has been amazing for home use. We usually shine it on a white wall downstairs. We have also set up a sheet outside and had an awesome movie night.

We've had it outside since we bought it and its held up well. Although I can't say that means much. Its been on our apartment balcony where its shielded from direct sunlight and rain.

I bought mine 2 years ago and with multiple play dates a week during the summer, I would say that it has held up pretty well. I do suggest putting a small table on top of the blower to shield it from the sun. If it gets overheated, it'll shut off. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on with mine the first season.

I used it for my garden wedding. It can hold up. But some reinforcement may be needed at the corners.

Mine has held up pretty well. It doesnt get used everyday but pretty often. Only complaints are its made of pine not a hardwood so it dents/scratches fairly easily but I would buy it again.

I would NOT recommend it for outdoor use as it is not treated lumber and would probably become warped or damaged from wet weather. Everything in the guide shows for indoor use but nothing states it is only for indoor use. It is very sturdy, but do not know if it would hold up outdoors.

My son started using it on 12/26/14. Mostly in the garage. Has held up but it hasn't seen any real abuse. Haven't taken it apart as it fits nicely in the corner of the garage.

This tent is a great value and we've used it a couple of times for parties etc. The thickness of the vinyl cover is not heavy duty, but the frame is strong and adequate. I think it can be rented for occasional uses, but care has to be taken to avoid high winds and damage to the cover. You can certainly recover your investment in the tent through rental.

I have, and it is holding up fine. I haven't used it as an every day tool, but i have used it regularly.

I reckon it's more up to the users for how well it would hold up. I mean, we use them for all our clients. Some people have them last years. Others that throw them around have them break after a few months. I can say that we have bought others as high as $150 and they don't 'seem' to be be much stronger. For the money, to me, these can't be beat.

It has a 1/2" wooden core (plywood) - so that will rot over time. You can probably use it for up to about 35 lbs but much over that and I'm afraid it may not hold the weight. It is a lovely piece and very functional.

I haven't used it for that purpose, I bought it for home use mostly, but this item is well built so I don't see no reason why it can't work for your purpose.
