Hi All-

I have a question about an online company that sells printed floordrops and backdrops. The company is LemonDrop Stop and their address is www.lemondropstop.com (external link)

I am looking at purchasing a faux wood floor drop that will primarily be used for newborn shoots.

Has anyone purchased anything from them, and if so, was it worth it? The drop i'm looking into is 5'x7' and is $95+shipping.

Just noticed this thread....If you didn't already purchase from them......DO IT!!!
I have four of their drops and they are awesome. I love them and will be getting more.
I have the whitewash faux wood floor....I got it for the same purpose that you want it for. I have used it for maternity shots along with another of their drops for the background. Take a look at my Flickr and you will see the shots under Maternity.

I'm looking at doing the same thing you are. However I just bought 64 square feet of snap together flooring from Sam's Club for $127 including tax. The price you indicated is quite a bit more per square foot. I mention it to make sure that you are aware there are other options I guess.

I didn't buy the exact one the original poster wanted. I got the polypaper
and it was $50.00 but I purchased 3 drops and when you do it that way you get a 4th drop free! The size for that price is 5X5. I find it perfect for newborn shoots.
Plus it gives me lots of different drops to use. I thought about snap flooring but the setup and take down time plus storing....I like a lot of variety for my clients.
