Bamboo Matchstick Shoji Screen (China)

This is now the third screen I've gotten from Overstock and the third SHOJI type screen (I have two Shoji Botanic screens in Walnut which is by far the most beautiful screen I have ever seen --they sell out quickly) this particular screen I purchased to use as a headboard/wall background on a blank wall in lieu of hanging pictures etc.for behind my platform bed (that I also got on Overstock) and as some of the previous reviewers state....the bamboo part is definately yellowish color..so if you want more tan or cream, this might not be what you want...but it is very pretty and very sturdy. This walnut colored one that I have is a perfect 'dark cherry' colored wood and really is quite nice! They make really great screens! And as usual, It came in record time and packed extremely well.(and I got it at work and got it into my smaller car too, you just have to be patient when getting it in lol but it will fit)..I will shop at Overstock again, have never had a bad experience yet!

Unfortunately, one of the two screens arrived badly damaged (matchstick completely buckled). Didn't have the patience to pack it back up and carry it down for pick up, so I have a damaged divider sitting in my room. Disappointing.

I was pleasantly surprised at the style and design of this screen. It is exactly what I was needing to hide a corner of my room where I store my granddaugher's toys. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and is more than what I had expected.

Mine came a bit warped so it doesn't stand perfectly vertical - not too bad but definitely noticeable. The bamboo is more yellow than beige and you can see through it so defeats the purpose if you're intending to use it for privacy. The workmanship overall is good - I think the warping came as a result of poor storage and\or shipping. Not worth paying the shipping to return it so I'm thinking maybe if I store it for a while weighted down it will straighten. If you don't want it for privacy, don't mind the yellow and can remember to cross your fingers that it won't won't be warped, go for it.

I ordered this screen to reduce the direct sunlight coming into my fish tank and causing an algae bloom. This worked great! The color was true to the website so it matched my tank. I like that the hinges folded both ways so the screen was easy to maneuver and set up. The shipping was quick and the screen was well packaged so it was not damaged at all.
