May cause respiratory issues
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel
The painting on this panel is beautiful and quality has held up BUT I’m almost certain this contributed to respiratory issues. It was next to my bed for a year and I recently noticed it’s still shedding red/brown dust. The wood was clearly painted over and it makes me skeptical about the wood that was used. The panel itself feels like it’s made cardboard. If you’re sensitive or plan to place this panel in a main living area, I would not recommend

Ideal to hide stuff.
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel
A really decorative pice for privacy, but I will also purchase the feet separately for sturdiness.

Muted But Pretty!
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 3 Panel
Nice, sturdy 3-panel screen/room divider! However, could/should have been priced at $20-30 less. I like that it stands and folds easily, and there is not too much decoration or an exorbitant design. The colors are muted and would work well with many styles or color schemes. Personally, I wanted the wood frame to be a little lighter in color though.
