Some spoke of this being very thin and cheap but it wasn’t. I never took it down after our party and after 3 weeks in the son it’s still hanging perfect and hasn’t even faded.I was hesitant to get this because a few reviews said theirs was a cheap thin plastic, but I took a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this was made from fabric! It was thin, but was perfect! It had nice ties on the side and looked awesome hanging up! My med school grad loved the attention special he got from all the neighbors from this sign (which of course he deserved after years of hard work). I’m so glad I ordered it!It is a wonderful sign. Grandchild was pleased at the size.Excellent material.Great Idea. Very pleased with Banner.While it poured rain so I was unable to really use this for my sons birthday, it would have been lovely. Great price for a nice product. You can’t go wrong. Only thing that would make it better is if it was personalized and for that you got to spend some extra money, and wait longer. This arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Unfortunately that isn’t a given anymore so it is appreciated.My son in-law graduated from surgical residency and we hung it on our fence for his party! He was super embarrassed But it held up great!Just came in the mail and I’m so excited to use this for my sons birthday party!! It’s huge and the material is awesome. We will be able to use it bring it home and hang it up in his room for him after. He loves it. Great quality!!!
