beware if you are buying the Red/Black screen for though it looks maroon, it is actually a bright red and black checkerboard-looking divider. Not what I was expecting. That said, beyond the color, the construction was quite nice and lightweight and I do love the lower height, which does not block light.Plus Oriental Furniture (the company which sells these) could not have been nicer and handled my return with grace and speed. I wish they would change the picture or provide a close up.
I will definitely shop from them again...just not this particular red/black screen.

I bought this to cover up an under the stairs storage area. I purchased this item because I did not need the full height of nearly six feet that most room dividers stood, and at four feet this was perfect. The color is good, and is nearly exactly what is shown online, and it fulfills the purpose.However, there are a few very negative cons:
1. Very unstable. If you don't fold the panels just right, it's very easy to knock this over. Which, because of the dramatic angle of the panels needed to keep it upright, you'll actually need to buy one panel longer than you think you need (ie. if the three panel seems to be the right dimensions, then buy the four panel to meet those dimensions).
2. The woven material is loose, and doesn't cover all of the wooden frame. There are gaps between some of the woven fibers, so that there is anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" of pale, wooden frame showing through at random points around the frame. I was able to scoot the weave all to the top so that the gaps (totaling probably about 1"-1 1/2" on each panel) were on the bottom only, and being partially behind a few silk plants we can't see the gaps.
Am I happy with the purchase? Somewhat. Yes. It does what it's supposed to do, and matches our decor. I'm a little annoyed that there were so many production flaws, and for what I paid I didn't expect grandeur, but I at least expected decent craftsmanship.
