    This is a good backdrop at a very reasonable price, but I bought it to try and limit the need to steam on location and this was not the answer. The fabric is not crease resistant like some other brands.

    This backdrop will work for larger groups- it is 8 feet wide, but it also is 8+ feet tall and won't fit in rooms with less that 9 feet of ceiling height.

    The color is good and the frame is very sturdy, can almost stand on its own, but I wouldn't trust it to stay put so you will need a stand. Cannot be set up by one person- well I did my first time in my basement and someone should've had a camera! Its very difficult to open and get set up. Can be closed easily, but watch the botero video on how to do it.

    I will continue to use it until I upgrade to the Lastolite Black/White 6x7 with train- this is what I should have purchased.

        This works perfect for our in home studio and is very easy to move around. You can either extend the white fabric out or tuck it in; completely up to you. The on thing thats kind of tough is getting it to fold up and I think its only because its large and a little awkward to fold together. All in all its a great product that works perfect for us.

              I brought this background for a special shooting i had to do in a factory of bathroom furniture. the background works fine. you need a wall to avoid the movement, is very hard to collapse, quite big unes you done.
              It will do the job, but don't expect the background last too long, because the built and materials are not premium, so is very good for the price.

              When I opened for the first time, I was impressed how big it was. I imagined it was smaller.
              It is a great background, a little bit hard to get it stay on its position, without attaching it to a frame.

                Comments about Impact Super Collapsible Background - 8 x 16' (White):

                I bought this to use for my wedding photo-booth. I needed a background to be able to use in tight spaces, when I didn't have the room for a background support. I also want a background that was more easily transported and in between the 5x7 foot and 10x20 foot background options. This turned out great! It leans great against the wall and I use duck tape in case someone bumps into it. The wrinkles do smooth out after an hour or so, so just leave it enough time to open up. It is not that difficult to re-fold this! If you have experience with folding reflectors then it is exactly the same concept. Every collapsible product has it's form it like to re-fold into, if you work with that you can do it by yourself no problem. I only wish there was a pocket for the train to be held in when you don't want to use the train. The case is cheap. In fact the zipper was broken already when I received it. [...] You can't expect too much for this price. But the background definitely exceeded my expectations and I will get a ton of use out of it.

                        I like the size of this background, but it is difficult to open and set up with only one person. two people can manage it better. Pretty easy to collapse and store in the case provided. Still not sure how to remove the cover for cleaning - but I have only used it a couple of times so far.

                          I ordered this background to be used at short-notice on-site. I'm glad I checked it out carefully because in daylight, it included a nice 1'x.5' yellow stain in the center 1/3 from the top. I ended up using seemless paper instead.

                          The background expands and collapses easily. There are videos online which show how to collapse it. The material does not appear to be very durable and I expect it would be easily damaged if collapsed/expanded often. I may give collapsible backgrounds another try, but I'd want to inspect it first to make sure there are no issues with the material.
