We used this item in a production of "M*A*S*H" as backdrop for the operating room.  With blue backlighting it looked marvelous as a light diffuser (the panes are "rice paper").  It seems well built but we had to take great care not to put a finger through any of the panes.  An product improvement would be to have the rather garish brass hinges be colored white.  Double hinges do allow the panels to turn either way.
