Tricky to put up and doesn't look anything like advertised picture, 17 Nov. 2014

The height chart is really pretty but it's VERY difficult to put up. The pictures are semi-transparent so the other colours show through ie it doesn't look as good as the advertised picture when up (branches different colours etc). The stickers are almost impossible to remove without damage once placed so ours have bubbles and a bit off kilter. It also doesn't wipe clean so our daughter's helpful pencil marks cannot be removed! If you can live with this then the overall effect really brightens a nursery but if you're a perfectionist, you may not be happy.

Fun for younger, shorter children, 4 April 2017

I thought a wall height chart would be good fun for my children but this wasn't quite what I expected - this may be my fault for not reading the description properly. I thought it would be a poster that would be easier to put up on any wall, but this is a pack of stickers of various sizes - the instructions say the stickers are not for use on wallpaper or textured paint, which limits its usefulness in my house. We also had very little suitable wall space, as you obviously need somewhere where kids can stand against the chart. It also seemed more difficult to put up than I had anticipated.

When we had a loft conversion built, and a new downstairs wall, providing more walls with smooth paint, I thought again of putting this up, only to realise that the chart stops at 130 cm, just over 4 foot, and that my boys have already literally outgrown it. I also think that as children grow up their tastes may change, and I'm too lazy and skint for something that would revolve...

Are we nearly tall yet?..., 3 July 2014

These are a really fun way to cheer up a child's room and so much better than smudged pen marks on the doorpost. You get four good-sized sheets of stickers full of different pre-cut components and your job, as the full-height grown-up, is to assemble the different pieces into the basic wall-chart. It takes a little bit of common sense to get the right pieces in the right order and at the right height (so the pre-printed measurements make sense) but it's not that big of a challenge. Avoiding bubbles caught under the stickers isn't too hard either, certainly easier than getting than getting that screen protector onto your smartphone was! The stickers themselves are really good quality with an almost matte finish, similar to silk-matte emulsion paint, and adhere quite readily to clean paintwork - they're not recommended for use onto wallpaper for some reason. They're printed (including the white areas) onto a translucent film with just a narrow 'halo' around each die-cut piece. The...
