NEEWER 1.8 by 2.8 m black, 100 per cent polyester review
One metre eighty by two metre eighty of thick black polyester for 26 €, with a pole pocket on each top edge and the only instruction on this shelf to iron the back only, below 40 °C.
The bottom line Thick black polyester, 1.8 by 2.8 m, with a pole pocket at each end, a light-resistance claim and the most careful ironing instruction on this shelf, for 26 €. It contradicts its own size notation within one page, its steam limit is 40 °C on the back only, and it brings no support.
On the listing
Five bullets. A 1.8 by 2.8 m — 5.9 by 9.3 ft — backdrop called perfect for television, video production and digital photography; a pole pocket on each top edge allowing it to be draped or hung; finished at all edges to prevent tearing; high-quality, especially thick polyester with good elasticity and resistance to light, foldable and easy to clean; and a closing bullet asking that the reverse be pressed with a steam iron and never a dry one, noting that the package contains only the backdrop, without stand, frame or poles, that the size is 6 by 9 ft — 1.8 by 2.8 m — and should be checked before ordering, and that the cloth ships folded, creases are normal, and it should be hung for 12 to 24 hours or steam-ironed on the reverse below 40 °C.
A pocket at each end
Two pole pockets, so the cloth turns end for end. The creases from one hanging are not the creases from the other, and having the choice is worth more on a cloth that may only be ironed at 40 °C.
Resistant to light, which nothing else here claims
Black dye fades. Five other cloth backdrops on this shelf say nothing about it; this one puts it in the same bullet as its thickness.
Forty degrees, on the back, with steam
The most specific care instruction on the shelf, and a warning against the dry iron that would glaze the face. The 27 € Vevelux permits 150 °C on its own polyester.
Two sizes on one page
Five point nine by 9.3 feet in the first bullet, 6 by 9 in the fifth. Both are roundings of 1.8 by 2.8 m, which is the figure to trust.
Availability
Between 26 € and 34 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.
The American and British Amazon stores carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

What it does well, and what it gives up
Strengths
A pole pocket on each top edge, so the cloth can be turned end for end
A resistance-to-light claim, which no other page on this shelf makes
Two named remedies for creasing, one of which costs nothing but a day
Compromises
Two different size notations on one page: 5.9 by 9.3 ft and 6 by 9 ft
Forty degrees is a low steam limit, and the back only
One metre eighty of usable height once the floor is covered
Specifications
Material
100 per cent pure polyester, in the title, described in the fourth bullet as especially thick, with good elasticity and resistance to light. Light resistance is the claim worth noting on a black cloth: black dyes fade under studio flash and daylight, and this is the only page on this shelf to raise it
Dimensions
1.8 by 2.8 m, given as 5.9 by 9.3 ft in the first bullet and as 6 by 9 ft in the fifth, where the page asks the buyer to check the size before ordering. The 2.8 m runs along the ground, so the usable height is about 1.8 m — a seated subject, or a standing one without much floor
Creasing behaviour
Admitted and answered twice. The fifth bullet says the cloth ships folded, that creases are normal, and gives the choice of hanging it for 12 to 24 hours or steam-ironing the BACK ONLY at under 40 °C. The same bullet forbids a dry iron, and the fourth repeats the steam instruction. Forty degrees is a low, specific limit; the 27 € Vevelux on this shelf allows 150
Support system
NOT INCLUDED, in the plainest words on this shelf: the fifth bullet says only the backdrop, without stand, frame or poles. The 80 € EMART and the 166 € FGen here are the two that bring a system
Mounting method
A pole pocket on EACH top edge, in the second bullet, allowing it to be draped or hung. Two pockets mean the cloth can be turned end for end — which matters because the creases from one hanging fall differently from the other
Opacity
Not stated as a figure. The fourth bullet describes especially thick polyester and resistance to light, and the third gives finished edges against tearing. No weight per square metre — the 27 € Vevelux publishes the only one on this shelf
Cleaning
Easy to clean and foldable, in the fourth bullet, with the steam-iron-and-reverse-side instruction carried into the fifth

What people ask before they commit
Why iron the back only, and below 40 °C?
Because the face of the cloth is the part that shows, and polyester melts. A dry iron at normal temperature glazes a synthetic surface — a shine that photographs as a bright patch and cannot be undone. The fifth bullet forbids the dry iron, restricts steam to the reverse and caps it at 40 °C, which is a conservative instruction and the most specific one on this shelf.
What does hanging it for 12 to 24 hours achieve?
Gravity does the ironing. Polyester creases from the fold, and its own weight over a day pulls most of them out without heat — the same principle as hanging a shirt in a steamy bathroom. On a cloth whose iron may only touch the back at 40 °C, this is the remedy the page is really recommending.
Which size is right, 5.9 by 9.3 ft or 6 by 9?
Neither is wrong, and both are rounded. One metre eighty is 5.9 ft and 2.8 m is 9.2 ft, so the first bullet rounds up and the fifth rounds to whole feet. The metric figure in the title, 1.8 by 2.8 m, is the one to measure against — and the fifth bullet itself asks the buyer to check before ordering.
A COMPLETE SYSTEM, not a cloth: a 2.6 by 3 m aluminium-alloy support PLUS three 1.8 by 2.8 m backdrops in white, green and black · the cloth material is NOT NAMED — only "very thick and firm" · LOAD CAPACITY 8 kg, the only load figure on this shelf · height and width both adjustable · four clamps and a nylon carry bag · black finish said not to rust or rub off · the cloths fold, wash and iron · no ironing temperature published · no weight per square metre published
A 2.6 by 3 m aluminium stand rated at 8 kg with three 1.8 by 2.8 m cloths, four clamps and a bag, for 80 € — the only load figure published on this shelf.
Best for: A first complete backdrop setup — three colours, a stand and the clamps to hold them — where the stand has to be rated for what is hung on it.
100 PER CENT COTTON, compared on the page with muslin, paper and plastic and said to crease less and not be transparent · THREE cloths of 1.8 by 2.8 m in green, black and white · the support system spans 2.6 by 3 m and the FIRST BULLET EXISTS TO SAY SO: 2.6 by 3 m is the stand, 1.8 by 2.8 m is the cloth · THE ONLY BACKDROP PAGE HERE THAT SELLS LIGHT: two 50 by 70 cm softboxes, two 84 cm umbrellas, four 200 cm stands adjustable 64 to 200 cm, two 135 W CFL bulbs, two 85 W 5500K LED bulbs, two E27 holders, a 5-in-1 reflector · two sandbags and four spring clamps · a 2.5 m mains lead · the bulbs are monochromatic and cannot be adjusted, stated by the maker in its own first bullet · washable and steam-ironable, with no temperature given · no load capacity published
A hundred and sixty-six euros for three cotton cloths, a 2.6 by 3 m stand, four lamps, two softboxes, two umbrellas, a reflector and two sandbags — the only backdrop page here that also lights the subject.
Best for: A first complete studio — background, stands, lights and modifiers at once — where nothing is already owned and the whole thing has to arrive in one box.
RIGID CARD, not cloth: crease-free, non-reflective, waterproof and dustproof, 3D HD printing · 40.6 by 29.2 cm in the title, 40.6 by 29.5 cm in the second bullet — the page contradicts itself by 3 mm · the title claims 12 pieces and 24 patterns; the contents list gives ONE double-sided reflective black and white board with two brakes and two clips PLUS SEVEN double-sided background papers, which is eight pieces and sixteen surfaces · no support needed: it lies on a table · no mounting method beyond the two clips and two brakes · opacity irrelevant on card · no cleaning instruction — a wipe is implied by "waterproof"
A tabletop set of rigid double-sided card at 36 € — crease-free by construction — whose title promises twelve pieces and twenty-four patterns where its own contents list gives eight and sixteen.
Best for: Flat-lay and tabletop work — food, jewellery, cosmetics — where the background has to be flat immediately and wiped clean afterwards.
