Description
The Prisoners of Breendonk: Personal Histories from a World War II Concentration CampFort Breendonk was built in the early 1900s to protect Antwerp, Belgium, from possible German invasion. Damaged at the start of World War I, it fell into disrepair . . . until the Nazis took it over after their invasion of Belgium in 1940. Never designated an official concentration camp by the SS and instead labeled a "reception" camp where prisoners were held until they were either released or transported, Breendonk was no less brutal. About 3,600
Fort Breendonk was built in the early 1900s to protect Antwerp, Belgium, from possible German invasion. Damaged at the start of World War I, it fell into disrepair . . . until the Nazis took it over after their invasion of Belgium in 1940. Never designated an official concentration camp by the SS and instead labeled a "reception" camp where prisoners were held until they were either released or transported, Breendonk was no less brutal. About 3,600 prisoners were held there--just over half of them survived. As one prisoner put it, "I would prefer to spend nineteen months at Buchenwald than nineteen days at Breendonk." With access to the camp and its archives and with rare photos and artwork, James M. Deem pieces together the story of the camp by telling the stories of its victims--Jews, communists, resistance fighters, and common criminals--for the first time in an English-language publication. Leon Nolis's haunting photography of the camp today accompanies the wide range of archival images. The story of Breendonk is one you will never forget.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice!!
Color: Chocolate, Size: 6-Panel
I love this divider. There was no set up at all, simply remove it out of the box, that's it. Thank you for making this easy. The divider is of great quality and easy to store away when not in use.

No assembly required
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
Absolutely love this! Arrived in a timely manner and it’s very versatile. Blocks the light on our porch on a hot day. Very durable and stable product. The color was as expected and there is no assembly required.

Looks ok if you don't look too close. Not likely to last long.
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel, Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
Got here fast, which was great since our company "upgraded" its video conferencing software and virtual backgrounds no longer work. But I can only describe the item as rickety and sloppily built. See photos: visible gaps in the weave that show the frame through. Chewed up screws in the hinges look like someone took them out and put them back in several times... or salvaged them from another unit.
On the whole, it doesn't seem sturdy. I'll be folding it up and re-deploying it several times a week, so I'll be surprised if it will still stand up in a year. Not a good value for the price, really, except that demand on these right now has prices pushed upward. I'd be happy enough if I'd spent $39.99 rather than over a hundred.

Good product, poor directions.
Color: Black, Size: B-88''W-4 Panel
The quality of the product was better than most at this price. The directions could have been much better even though I have an engineering background.

Nice partition for my basement
Color: Beige, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
This 3-panel room divider showed up well-packaged with all the parts and even a little tool for putting it together. The instructions were easy to follow, and while one person can definitely assemble it, having two makes it quicker and less frustrating.
It does exactly what I needed—gives quick, easy coverage in an open area. I'm using it in my basement to hide the furnace and water heater, and it works great for that. It looks nice overall, but I picked the beige fabric (which is really more of a tan), and the black frame makes it stand out more than I’d like. A white or lighter frame would’ve blended better. Not sure that I would use it anywhere besides the basement
It’s lightweight and pretty sturdy. The wheels make it easy to move, but it does get a bit wobbly, and the panel clips need to be readjusted every time you roll it somewhere new. Still, for the price, it’s a solid buy. I’m happy with it and planning to order another one.
