I bought this for my little studio apartment to partition between my murphy bed and my kitchen at night- I can't explain it, I just don't like sleeping next to my appliances. It does the job, and I like that I can fold it up and put it in my utility closet when not in use. I like the nature theme. The panels are made of thin paper and it doesn't block the light from the clock on the oven, but it does disperse it into a lovely glow. It works for me.
