Sturdy, visually attractive. One star off due to some splintering in the lattice work (purely cosmetic; has not impacted the overall structure of the divider). If you are wondering about the strength of the rice paper: I actually own two of these dividers, and have had the other one for about 5 years now. I also own a curious cat. That divider, despite aforementioned cat and two apartment moves, remains in excellent, just-out-of-the-box condition. Not a single nick, scratch, tear, or fade.
