Wobbly but Usable
Color: Grey, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
A bit wobbly, but good enough for the price when you need a solid background for remote work calls.

Nice and easy to assemble
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
I absolutely love this 4-panel room divider! It was super easy to assemble — I had it set up in just a few minutes. The material isn’t too see-through, which gives just the right amount of privacy while still letting some light through. It does exactly what I needed it to do and looks so clean and sleek in my space. Perfect balance of style and function — highly recommend!

Really adorable & functional room divider! I love mine!
Color: Dark Coffee, Size: 4 Panel
Really beautiful divider. I use it out on my patio at my apartment building to provide privacy, shade & keep my things safe. At 6 foot tall and 4 panels (I strongly suggest 4 panels) it's quite a lovely addition to my home. It's delicate so handle carefully but it comes completely put together & just set it up. Being able to move it inside or outside or wherever because it's so light makes it very mobile. It's not too opaque you can see through it but if it's for total privacy use a tablecloth or something behind it to make it less see through. It's strong and big and I had a question for their cs and they responded immediately and handled it right away which is a sign of a good company. It's light so make sure you secure it if it's windy for stability.
