These dividers were the perfect solution for hiding the pet station from view of the rest of the room.  The 3 ft. height is high enough to hide litter boxes, food, water, clutter etc., without blocking light from the windows.  You would never guess what is on the other side.  I ordered the natural finish which is light (like unfinished wood), but is covered with a smooth satin sheen to give it a completely finished appearance.  I also ordered two 3 ft. dividers vs. one longer 6 ft.  divider in order to give the cats an opening in the middle to either side of their area.  I just overlap the ends of the dividers slighly, and the cats seem to enjoy making their way through the little "maze".  I would recommend this as a solution to anyone who needs to hide any unsightly clutter in a multi-use room.
