Oriental Furniture 6 ft. Tall Diamond Weave Fiber Room Divider - White - 6 Panel

As the old adage goes, a picture is worth a 1,000 words...and that has that never seemed more true. Just check out the pictures I’ve attached to this review, then look at the product display shot of the white screen I purchased. That shot shows three tightly woven panels which appear to provide a full screening. All the dowel sticks look white as do the supporting frame posts that look to be fully covered with fiber.Now, look at my photos. There are irregular gaps between strips on most of the section panels, some large enough to clearly see through. In a related issue, there are variations in how tightly the strips are woven around the dowels. The strips of fiber were dyed white, but not with uniformity because at times they look flat white, but at others, there is a tinge of yellow. No attempt was made to make the vertical supporting dowels white; they are a natural wood color as are the equally visible square frame posts. Now, the frame posts are particularly problematic. Because they were not pre-wrapped with fiber before the strips were attached, they are large gaps where these posts are exposed. And in the case of some of these frame posts, the large gaps expose that they are of a lessor grade wood, as shown in one of my photos.)Aa for the weaving, it has been done without constant attention to detail. There is a real inconsistency in how the ends of strips are handled. Some are firmly glued down; but others are unattached and/or poke out (see photo that captures just one example). Further, there are just slight overlaps between the ends of strands in some cases but as much as six inches of overlap in others, creating a blotchy look because the overlapped sections are more opaque (as evident in several of my photos).Which brings me to the issue of opacity. In the daylight yesterday, I had thought maybe I had gotten another model because each of my panels has five sections and I only saw three (one short at the top, another short at the bottom and a long middle section) in the product display photo. But last night, with no back light, I didn’t see the two back supports ( nor any of blotchiness where the strips haphazardly overlap, for that matter.) I tried to show this difference in one of my photos which shows the middle panel faced away from any light and one of the side panels facing a window in daylight.Now, to be fair, I will point out that the description does say “this design does allow some light and air to pass though the panels, and does not shut light out completely.” I appreciate that disclosure; however, I do wonder, then, why no photographs were taken that show the blockage is moderate at best in a well lit room? In other words, why do all these product shots make the screens look opaque? I assume that most people are like me. The description is valuable but the photos are the first and dominant factor in my decisions. If the product display shots misleading, then I am likely to be mislead, regardless of disclosures made at the end of the product description, near the bottom of the page.Another thing I will point out in fairness is that the screen is accurately described as lightweight, which is important if you plan to use the screen only when needed or to use it in multiple locations. I have moved a heavier, more solidly built screen the same size by myself, and it is unwieldy. Still, there are just too many quality control issues for me to make this screen recommendable even if it is easy to move around.

Excelente inversión , que elegante arme perfectamente una habitación privada

Beautiful piece

Looks so pretty. Gives me privacy without blocking all the light.

Brought for a relative and they liked it

Pretty and gets the job done. This arrived in a beat up cardboard flat box and only padded with thin styrofoam sheets. The edges of the box were crushed and multiply taped, which made me suspicious of the condition. Fortunately, it was undamaged, but I unpacked it thinking I was going to have to send it back....I didn't.The quality is a bit flimsy, but when handled with care, it's lightweight nature is a plus for me. I have 2 others similar to this that are heavier made, and a pain to move around. The only design flaw is that the basket-weave "endings" are just "tucked in". I'm going to go around and glue them more securely, as like some wicker furniture, comes unraveled with time and use.Overall, it's very pretty and relatively inexpensive compared to some others. I really like the white as it's bright and fresh.

***UPDATE***I decided I should not have to try and paint an item I paid good money for, so I decided to return it. Thankfully I had kept the boxes!Disappointed that the white screen is not entirely white! The “dowel rods” are unpainted which makes the screen look unfinished. It definitely does NOT look like the photos. I wish I would have looked better at the reviews. Also, be careful how you move it or you may break through it! I hold on to the harder areas, not the woven areas. Since it is so large (hard to return) and works for what I wanted it for, I am keeping it. I am considering painting it...not sure if that will work though.

Not private and flimsy.

While having spent a considerable amount of time in selecting a folding divider with 6 PANELS that offered the best finished appearance amongst many vendors illustrating what appeared to be of similar design this one from Oriental Furniture was purchased in WHITE. After having to wait for 30 days from order placing (showing then In Stock) likely because importer (USA) was unable to fulfill Amazon.ca with inventory from the factory in China, we finally received what was a bit disappointing. The picture of the WHITE 6 panel folding divider is not quite what was delivered. The picture shows the panels are uniformly all white with few gaps or spaces in the weaving. In reality, the only WHITE is the so-called woven 'fiber' material. The frame is bare wood and visible in many places. The weaving dividers are bare wood dowels that contrast against the WHITE fiber material. To illustrate this in a picture one car clearly see what I'm describing when selecting the 4 panel divider from the same vendor. Since I wasn't shopping for a 4 panel I had not seen this before and would have contacted the vendor before buying to get more pictures of the 6 panel to confirm appearance. It is basically just 'ok' for now. But planning on painting it WHITE to finally achieve a more finished piece of furniture. Otherwise it did arrive safely thanks to the styrofoam packing that held up to the rough handling the exterior carton had to endure with punctures, rips, torn tape seams and crushed corners. I would have to agree with other reviewers in stating that the price is high considering what you are getting.

Satisfied

The media could not be loaded.  That screen was a returned product. The box was all taped up and there was no provided return label. The finition is very poor with sticks of the weave coming out, splitting or coming loose, and so many other defects. I am an artist I will make do with hours of applied craftsmanship, but Amazon should avoid this kind of dishonest dealing. This screen should not have been for sale at all. I was cheated by the photo.

I have been looking for a room divider that a) hid my MASSIVE treadmill and b) fit my decor for years, and this one really does it.Each individual panel is 19" wide, so they're very big - I ended up getting the 4 panel unit, which ended up being perfect. But best of all, it's very tall (71") and completely hides my treadmill which is 70" (which was the ultimate goal!) There really don't seem to be a lot of other frames that are this big at this decent price range.The frame itself is very sturdy and quite thick, and that is with a mischievous cat trying her best to knock it over over the past month!

My husband and I share a 2nd bedroom, he uses it for junk/storage and clothing and I use it for my home office. I really needed something to ‘create ‘ more separation and this fit the bill. Arrived really quick and no assembly. Super light too. I only gave 4 stars as the price, over $200 all in is a bit steep for the quality but it works. See before and after pics
