This is exactly what I was looking for! I had another backdrop for photos that was vinyl and the shininess of it was awful and ruined my pictures. This was easy to iron the wrinkles out of (from shipping) and is so lightweight! It's like a thin type of cloth that has some stiffness to it. I could easily tape it to a wall or use it on the floor. It is definitely pixelated, but for my purposes it doesn't matter and isn't noticeable in my photos. Highly recommend if you want a cheap but functional backdrop!
