The Howard products suck. They are temporary fixes that will have you constantly applying and reapplying. There are much better fixes.

I sent my mom one of these from Amazon and it only lasted a couple of months. One day she opened it and the whole thing just fell apart. Very cheaply made. I'd advise against anyone buying one of these.

Hm, dunno about this. I think a nice complementary colour coat of paint will look much nicer. This looks very busy and there's an awful lot of brown here.
