Not bad
Color: Grey, Size: 88" W
Claims to be non see through but you can, easy to assemble but instructions aren't good. Decent money value, quality is okay. Good fit, not very sturdy.

They bend easily and hard to keep up

Lighter Than Expected — Perfect for My Garage Workspace!
I just received this room divider and haven’t had a chance to set it up yet, but I’m already impressed. It’s much lighter than I expected — I was worried it would be bulky and unstable, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. It feels easy to handle and still solid enough for what I need. I plan to use it in my garage to section off a small workspace, and it looks like it’s going to work perfectly!
