    Flimsy - choose something else

    Great Dividers
    Size: 6 Panel-120"W, Color: Beige
    Love these!! Many uses. Simple, nice looking, sturdy overall. Well made. Bought to divide the unsightly storage area from the calm rest area in the basement. Also, these worked well for our garage party where the dividers let light and air in, though blocked the view of our party area from the cars driving by.

    Just what I needed
    Size: 4 Panel-136"W, Color: Black
    I have a one bedroom apt and my son stays with me half the time. He has an air mattress in the living room until I can afford a 2 bedroom. But he’s in his early teens and needs privacy. I bought this after looking online at may of these. I’m so glad I went with this one. It covers his air mattress 3/4 of the way around and now he has his own little nook. I also gave him some led lamps and he might it like his own little nightclub. He LOVES it. And now he’s excited to be in his space. The quality is so good and there’s no see through, no gaps, it’s perfect.

    Instructions could be clearer, but assembles well and is sturdy
    Size: 3 Panel-102"W, Color: Black
    The only reason for the lack of a star is the iffy instructions. There are a few different washers and the instructions could make the difference a LOT easier to understand and thereby reduce the need to re-do things. Other than that, the panels were easy to assemble and the parts fit well together. I was able to disassemble the screens and store them for a future use, which is nice. One caution - the feet that make the panels stand up will likely be a trip hazard, so be sure to plan the location for this device carefully.
