Customer Reviews
As the other reviewer said, the back doesn't look like the front in that the shoji (paper) doesn't have the wood going across. However, it doesn't look that bad, at least the way I use it, which is to separate my kitchen and living room. I put the nice side facing the living room since that is when I am forced to see it and b/c I don't care much about what the kitchen looks like as long as it's clean. The quality can be a lot better though. The frame is an okay albeit cheap wood, but the smaller pieces that crosses the shoji is cheaper and not smooth to the touch. I have to smooth it out a little in some parts. They're like splinters that easily flake off Also, there a quite a number of nicks and dings on the frame, some of which I can see from 8 feet away. It was packed okay, so it must be bad quality control when it was being made. Good thing I got the black one b/c I can just take a black marker and cover them up. Fortunately, the shoji itself is unblemished. In the end, I am satisfied, but I can only recommend the black one since it's easy to touch up the nicks and dings.
bought the cherry color. it's just as pictured, however the paper screens are thin and one of the squares has a small rip. my husband through out the box so i couldn't send it back. oh well, overalll it's good for the price. i'll replace it one day when i find the perfect piece of furniture i'm really looking for.
Perfect for my need of an unusual headboard. Came with no assembly required and in lovely condition. Thanks so much.
This screen has only the rice paper on the back---there are no wooden pieces to make the back look like the panes on the front panels. The back of this screen looks cheap and unfinished, which is too bad, since the overall workmanship is mostly excellent. Return shipping of this large screen would be a waste of money, so I will probably try to add the vertical and horizontal pieces of wood to finish off the back of the screen. I am very disappointed because this screen if beautiful...from the front, only.
