      Stable, solid, and versatile!
      Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide, Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide
      Exceeded my expectations. Easy, but tedious to assemble. That said, it’s solid, well made, and will last. You can stand it up in a straight line without concern it will fall over. No need to fold it like an accordion for stability. Helped me separate my garage gym from the kids bikes, shelving, paint, tools, and typical garage stuff.

      Privacy with a dual purpose.
      Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel-132'' Wide
      While temporarily staying with family or friends, this portable wall offers some privacy and separation of personal space. It is easy to assemble and adjusts to different sizes by ordering different numbers of panels. While it provides a wall on one side, it serves as a place to add a little design and color to the inner space, as it is strong enough to hang a small quilt using clamps on the top rails. It also serves as a great hat rack for my husband’s many ball caps. I plan to continue to use it as a room decider, and to hide stored items from view. It truly makes the most of a small space.
