Wood Oriental Decorative Room Divider (China)

Although this is shown extended straight, you must fan fold it in order for it to stand straight up..... therefore, the picture is not flat. The legs are not wide enough to allow it to stand without folding, this makes the division effect shorter as well. It is well made but the Budda in the middle has a washed out face and it is hard to see any features at all on it. If you plan to use this as a meditation centerpiece, this is dissapointing. The pantheon is fuzzy too. I plan to keep it however because it is too heavy for me to drive to the post office, and I found another use in hiding my vast quantities of audio tape holders making it just a nice piece of wall art in front of the tapes. Think 3 times before purchasing.

We purchased the screen as a backdrop piece but once we saw it, it became a center piece in our den. There are some minor variations in the figures and craftsmanship but none that detract from the beauty of the piece. This manufacturer is highly recommended and we will be purchasing other pieces from them.

The colors are definitely as advertised (I got the Buddhist pantheon)--this is an attention-getter, no question. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the image--not that I was expecting fine details, but the image could be crisper and less obviously screen-printed. But overall the effect is what I was looking for, and the screen arrived in good condition.
