I like this map for my young students in my classroom, but do not want to use it as a decal. Is the backing sturdy enough to use more as a poster?

I think it would work fine as a poster--the backing was fairly thick and you could tape or tack it up without any problem. It looks really great and came with a dry erase marker so you can draw on it. I recommend it!

It is sturdy enough to use as a poster. However, it ships rolled up and it wants to curl back up when it is attached to the backing. It curls so much, that it's hard to even hold it open with your hands. I would unroll it prior to use and hold it down at the corners with something heavy and let it set like that for awhile. It's a cool poster. I used it for VBS and attached it to the wall as a decal for a week then put it back on the backing and brought it home and attached it to a wall at home for use when I homeschool my kids.

It peels off nicely with no residu ... But it not going to just come off the wall unless you start to pull it up..as a border it would be cute.. Just make sure the starting and ending points, are not in reach of children who would pull it just for fun..kids will be kids..hope this helps.

Haven't used it on poster board, but it is pretty sticky. I use it for envelope addresses.

I went to Hobby Lobby and asked them what was the best way to mount the poster. They suggested foam mounting and it is super sturdy! I have a two door car and once the poster was mounted I had a hard time getting into my vehicle ( heads up). Once I got the poster home I used the double side anchor painting tape with the tabs/hooks to hang it. I will say once it is mounted on the foam backing it is heavier so please use the hooks that support regular pictures and not the average posters. I hope this helps! Once you have it mounted it is so beautiful noonce can believe that its an actual poster.

Map background is white with states outlined in black. States are multicolored. You might want to transfer the US decal onto a magnetic sign poster. That way, if you want to transfer it to another vehicle, wall, etc. you can do so. Once the decal is adhered to a surface, it is there to stay!!

The glass desk top may be used by itself. As stated by a previous respondent, it is heavy and it has the metal pads which would sit off the wall. With black and bold color markers, the map would recede. I think it would make a very attractive dry-erase board. The weight would be the biggest concern.

I would pitch it between 165-175 GSM. Framed it the moment it arrived so impossible to say how durable it is... what are you intending to do with it? As a poster, framed or not, it is as durable as any other poster if looked after properly.

Yes, it is. I put mine in a nice 24x36 frame I got from Michael's. The paper is very lightweight, so if you don't want it to wrinkle, after you frame it, you should mount it on a foam board. But seriously, for this low of a price, the poster is definitely worth it even if you don't mount it before framing.

Yes, it is remarkably sturdy. As the previous poster said, to prime it, you just shade with chalk, wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry. After that, you should be all set. My son once colored on it with crayons and that didn't wipe away even with water. So, I'd stick to just regular chalk. Sidewalk chalk is also ok.

I use it as a decoration at the cemetary and it has held up very well. The flag did break off, it wasn't very sturdy, but the box itself is sturdy.

Quite nicely. Product is fine for the limited use it gets-holiday time! I actually am using it in a classroom for all our posters/poems/songs written on chart paper with no complaints about quality.

No damage. We hung a HUGE US Map for a homeschooling class and hung it and took it down after class each week, so it is very durable.

Honestly, I haven't used it. I put big sheets of paper on that side because my 4 year old loves to paint. But it does look like an ok chalkboard. Nothing super high quality though.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is a softer type of wallpaper, and I don't think it would hold up.

It is quite sturdy. I am a teacher, and I just have papers in mine. However, I THINK that it would be sturdy enough.

It's intended to be used as a map holder, u can fit something thin as paper maybe thicker in there too

The backing is harboard material, which is a little better than cardboard. It's really just for decoration and to help with some lateral stability.
