We purchased this background for a sports team banner session. Team uniforms were green so chroma key green was not the answer. Likes: Portability. The unit stood up against a wall without using a support stand. Set up quickly. Price was reasonable. Cons: Fabric is wrinkled which did not impact extraction but the floor sweep required that we use tape to keep it taught on the floor. When we removed the gaffers tape, the machine stitching and the fabric on the edge frayed some. Fabric has a shiny texture which made it slippery on the polished floor surface we were working on. This is a large unit. It unfolds effortlessly due to the force required to keep it folded. However, refolding it required finesse and a little manhandling due to the size. The size was great for full length portraits. Material quality is a little on the low end and we won't know how well it will hold up until we have used it some. There was a fairly large tear in the carry case (I think caused by the zipper catching before we received the unit) that I had to repair before it became a real problem It would have been nice if there were carry handles on the case. The big plus was how quickly we received the unit from Adorama after purchase. Overall, it worked well for the purpose we bought it for.
