*Updated after I found instructions with the product description on Amazon.
Turns out I followed the instructions without having them, so that's good. After reading many comments and reviews I am going to attempt to un-stick the mural from itself with a hairdryer and rehang. If I cannot un-stick and reapply I am going to ask for a replacement. With that said, I think we have too much texture on our walls (It's knockdown, if you are wondering) and will use thumb tacks with glow in the dark stars to disguise them at the top the mural to ensure it won't fall again. I like the mural too much not to try something.
*Updated after we used a hair dryer to un-stick it from itself.
I think the hair dryer trick would work with a smaller section, but because ours fell off the wall, roughly a quarter was stuck to another quarter of the mural. We tried not to overheat or pull to strongly, but in the end half, of the mural has stretched areas and does not hang nicely or adhere without bubbles. Sigh. I am going to request a replacement and I've updated the number of stars to 3 instead of 1. I wouldn't put this much effort into something I hated.

The poster came in a tube in four vertical sheets. The poster initially had a high tendency to curl up, but I simply put the sheets on the floor, stacked books in the end, and let it sit until it stayed flat. After that, assembly was fairly straightforward. The poster is printed on a sticky material that is backed by a plastic-like sheet. The four pieces are engineered to overlap by exactly one inch. I don't know why others didn't figure this out, since it's fairly obvious if you compare the stars near the edges. I actually appreciate this because it makes the seam disappear. Since I'm in an apartment, I've decided to leave the plastic-like backing on, but I can see that it would easily come off if you wanted to stick the poster to the wall. The backing looks fairly easy to remove once you have a corner.
Overall, this is a nice decoration to an otherwise boring wall. Would buy again.
