really makes my room look very classy - I live in a comfortable, but boxy, house, and this screen really enhances the atmosphere.
Quality is very good as is the price. Don't even think about it, if you need one, buy this. I'm very pleased, and if you read my critical reviews, that means a lot!

I just moved, and the screen continues to be excellent. Bear in mind that in Japan and asia
space is often limited, and the Japanese are noted for taking a small space and giving it a
spacious, yet private, feeling. The shoji screen is the tool par excellence for doing this. Thus
if you have, say, a computer table in close proximity to your kitchen, just put a shoji screen
around the computer to restore harmony in your space. Having a guest over and he is sleeping
in the living room? Give him instant privacy by putting a shoji screen across the room.
Just look in your space and note what distracts or complicates your perceptions.
Could be piles of junk, a cat box, a desk in your living room, or an open kitchen next to a
living room, etc. A good tool to "do more with less" in this economy.
