The paper is unused, but has some age related flaws to the white portion of the paper.  The white part is meant to line the shelves, with the edge being extended over the lip of the shelf to for a decorative border.  There is a  2 1/4" edge woth decoration. The edge is also great to cut away from the shelf paper for crafts.  The paper is 9 feet long, 9" wide (which includes the 2" border).  This vintage paper is NOT gummed or made to stick to the cabinet.  It is great paper, and especially fun to use for a vintage kitchen.
