Customer Reviews
I ordered two sets of these Chinese-made shoji room dividers, and was pleased with how quickly they were delivered, as well as the careful, effective packaging. I unhinged them, and rebuilt the modules into sliding shoji panels, installed in tracks, as done in Japan. My living room has been transformed, and the soft, diffused light created by the translucent, lush paper is indeed beautiful. Having lived in Japan, I cannot say that the craftsmanship of these shoji is as outstanding (utterly perfect) as those seen there, but it's pretty close, and I feel that the price was indeed reasonable. Overall, I am very pleased.
I had only a minor disappointment. The lattice work of the screen is on one side only. Otherwise, the product is excellent and delivery was fast and efficient.
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.
