Not a fan of this one at all, and I normally love everything Stefani does. But this looks cheap to me. The Renoboard looks like cardboard, and the uneven gaps are very odd looking.
This one is definitely a miss... Normally all you do looks super high end and professional. This one looks incredibly amateur and awkward (all those gaps and weird edges...) Don't get me wrong, I get that this is an sponsored video and you have to push the product, but this doesn't make any justice to your skill level. If you had used standard shiplap and caulk it would have looked hundred times better.
I appreciate your feedback, Isabel. I understand this product may not appeal to everyone, but my goal is to also share easier DIY's that more people can relate to! Thank you for watching.
The project idea is good and I've been a subscriber since before your channel took off but I'm getting disappointed by your weekly sponsored videos. I checked out the price of Renoboard and it's 4 to 5 times the cost of peel and stick flooring which can be used to accomplish the same job as this. Had this not been sponsored and paid for, I'm fairly certain you wouldn't have chosen this product. To anyone considering doing this project, don't use Renoboard unless you want to get ripped off.
It didn't even seem to be sticking very well for being overpriced either. Hard to give your honest review when they sent you the product as a sponsorship.
@@InsertGenericNameHere Yes, she mentioned in the narration that she had to use construction adhesive where it didn't stick well, even though she didn't demo it during the video. Just because you're getting a paid sponsorship, you should still provide a full and unbiased honest review.
@Renoboard Thanks for the reply. I've actually thought of this project idea before seeing this video and I already had an idea of peel and stick flooring at $1 sq/ft so I immediately checked the price of your product and noticed it was $4.50 sq/ft which is 4.5X more expensive. I appreciate that you source high quality low VOC materials although I'm not sure why flooring needs FDA approval? It's neither a food nor a drug, so I don't get it, but that's not what's important to me. Say for example your project requires roughly 90 sq feet, that's $405. But unfortunately, for the extra 2 sq feet you need, you have to buy another $100 box, which bring your cost up to $500. Now if you went for peel and stick at $1 sq/ft, the cost drops to $90. If you need an extra box, it only cost another $20 brining your total to $110. Huge difference. After viewing this, I checked around youtube and I noticed that you are going around to other DIY channels and providing them with the same paid sponsorship. I noticed in all of the videos, none of them mentioned pros, cons or cost of the product, which is something I strongly desire, even with a paid sponsorship. I subscribe to a few dozen DIY channels (not all are home improvement) and I appreciate youtubers who provide an honest review of pros and cons regardless of the sponsorship and provide their experience on the video and also provide improvement opportunity feedback to the manufacturer. As for home improvement DIY channels, they typically don't provide pros and cons items on products they are being sponsored for. However, I do see them doing that for products they've purchased. To me that's sad. I'm guessing being paid makes the youtuber feel obligated not to say anything negative about the product. I feel that if a company is strong enough to stand behind their product to sponsor it, they should also allow themselves open to honest review and criticism. Not just giving out the positives of the product. Most DIY solar channels I subscribe to actually do this. Honestly, I don't know anything about your product, quality control, standards, whether you're a newcomer or an established company either. With that said, understand that consumers are very intelligent, and if word gets out that they can purchase a competitor's similar product for a fraction of the cost, then it won't be good for your business. I'm not trying to be harsh just be a jerk, I just believe that this should be an honest conversation amongst the sponsors and the youtubers who provide us content. This will be make for a better youtube DIY experience for everyone all around which includes the manufacturer, the youtuber and the viewer. Thanks for reading.

This was a bit of a miss. A better AFTER would've been replacing the framed art with something more colorful and visually interesting. You know, something to help inspire you when you have to sit down and work. And yes, please consider investing in a $20 step ladder.
Too many gaps. This is a good video on why people shouldn't buy this product. But on the other hand. It's good for renters. Why the landlord won't allow you to do anything.
I'm a big fan of your work, however, this project did not inspire me to create. Perhaps it was the color. Maybe a wood look may have been more visually appealing, but the white just made for a messy looking wall. Some color would have been nice. Definitely not your installation issue, but absolutely the product itself.
Yes. If you start from the sides there’s more chance that the pattern will become skewed as you progress to the other side. Herringbone is a very difficult pattern to achieve correctly, so accurate measurements and angles are crucial.
Great job 👏🏻 I checked out their website but they are sold out of everything. And it says the price for is $14.99 for 1 board? Gosh if that’s correct the wall i wish to do would be crazy expensive even with the 15% off code they give for signing up. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻 New subscriber. Stay safe healthy and happy 😃 ✝️🇺🇸
It was like putting a puzzle together, with you cutting the pieces to fit. I love this. I do have some questions, if you were putting some shelving on the same wall, would you put the shelving up first, or the peel and stick boards? Can you drill into them safely? Also, how many boxes did it take to do that wall? I am so happy you did this. Now I need to order mine to do my project. I am so excited. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving. 💗🦃
I have asked you politely three times, now it is time to raise my voice. STOP USING CHAIRS TO STAND ON. They are for sitting. I know you have a step stool, because I have seen it. Other than that, interesting idea. Stay healthy and we'll see you soon.
Seems like an odd thing to take issue with. Why do you care about someone standing on a chair you don't own, on a chair you'll never sit in, in a house you'll never be invited to?
@@milt7348 To each his own. Unless it's a rolling chair or folding chair, they have 4 legs and are capable of handling hundreds of pounds. I've stood on chairs dozens of times in my life and have never fallen off. They are a safe platform and easily accessible when a step stool is not handy to go find in the house. Incidentally enough, I've seen those folding step stools collapse when standing on.

@@HomeWithStefani well said.
I love all your projects but this is not my piece of cake. To many gaps and I don’t like plastic.
I usually love everything you do, but this looks really cheap and poorly done. I'm not blaming your execution. I just think the product is crappy.

your kidding with this right???
This was a bit of a miss.

And yes, please consider investing in a $20 step ladder.
Also… this turned out beautifully and has added another project to my growing list! Lol. Thanks for sharing
The only cringeworthy part of this video was unplugging the computer before shutting it down.
haha... guilty 🙈
Too many gaps. This is a good video on why people shouldn't buy this product.
But on the other hand. It's good for renters. Why the landlord won't allow you to do anything.

How do you ensure the gaps between the pieces looks consistent? Talent?
FYI you need to watch this in HD, the lines between the boards is invisible at lower resolutions
Beautiful
Just a tip: Turn the Mac off before plugging it out of the wall.
Question: If I want to do a Herringbone desgin Do I always start from the from the center ?
Yes. If you start from the sides there’s more chance that the pattern will become skewed as you progress to the other side. Herringbone is a very difficult pattern to achieve correctly, so accurate measurements and angles are crucial.
The satisfaction of the little triangles at the end of each wall were well worth the watch 😂
No difference at all to me, should have used a different board with color.
10/10
What is the best way to fill in the gaps? Can this product be painted?
Hi Brenda, how are you doing??
I love this, definitely gives the wall some texture and different. Thanks Stef!
Thanks for watching, Kathryn! 😘
If you decide to remove and do another design or paint, is it simply a matter of re-sanding and priming again?
Wow... this turned out amazing. Seems like a quick project to do over the weekend 😍 Thanks for sharing Stefani
Thank you for your support! 🤗
Very nice but it’s kind of expensive
Beautiful ❤, are they easy to remove??
You have to read coran and judge it
💖💖💖💖💖 the Best thing about Herringbone pattern it's Timeless ! 👍🏻👍🏻
You are absolutely right. Anyway how are you doing??
Looks great! I've been wanting to put herringbone on the ceiling in our entryway. Using these Renoboards seems like something I can tackle!
Thank you, Kristin! 🤗
That’s a great project for a room upgrade. Excellent work!
Great job 👏🏻 I checked out their website but they are sold out of everything. And it says the price for is $14.99 for 1 board?

Hi Stefani,
Looks pretty fast installation yet you sure make it look easy I do like it very much,
Thanks for sharing.

I liked this but I would have trimmed it out because the edges of the wall don't look super clean. It's still pretty.
Beautiful 💕
Can you explain a bit more on how you got the correct angles? Concerned I'll mess up cuts
I thought it might be boring since its just white, but its super nice! :)
😍😍👍
Not sure if my question appeared, but if removing and doing another design (or painting) is it a matter of simply re-sanding and priming again?
I love this look. Are the boards wood or more vinyl?
Nice, but a off white would be more noticeable.
Are these renter friendly?
Sorry but it's very hard to see it. Personally I'd take it down as it doesn't fit the skills you have. Not a fan of product.
