The vinyl has received 70 perfect five-star ratings online, with many saying the design offers a wood look.
'Was very happy with this as a cheap way to do laundry. I did my whole laundry and it looks great and easy to clean. If your good at covering kids school books you'll be fine at laying this,' one wrote.
Another said: 'Perfect for that little DIY refreshing look to the old furniture. Good opacity, but you may get a better result with an extra plain color layer under it.'
One shopper added: 'Beautiful effect! Not as tough as the more expensive stuff but absolutely brilliant anyway,' while one said: 'Looks like the real thing when contacted on items - very pleased.'
