Love the wood as a room divider as it doesn't look terrible or out of place. The item is bench and so very adjustable to the shape or area you want it to cover. I have bought this as I live in a one bedroom with limited space, it's enabled me to make best use of a corner for an office, nice backdrop for video calls (inside is grey) and means my girlfriend can move around the house freely without worrying about being in the back of calls! Definitely a good buy. We can lucky wedge it in between the sofa and wall to give it something to secure it but if you wanted it to free stand I'd probably buy some kind of stand or think what you could secure it to for more stability. Although the bendiness of it means you can weave it into a standing shape too!
