TheatreWorld Backdrops is very proud of not only the quality of our backdrop and drapery designs, but also the handling care and maintenance that goes into every drop, every rental, every time. After each rental return, our backdrops are carefully inspected to assign a Backdrop Condition Status between 1 and 5 and to assess when repairs may be needed. This Backdrop Condition Status is very important as it accurately depicts to you, our customer, the quality of the backdrop or drapery product you are considering renting. While we remove backdrops from rental inventory that fall below a 3 in rating, many minor backdrop flaws can be minimized with proper lighting from as little as 2 feet away.
