This screen has two sides. I was at first disappointed when I found out the color was not black and white, but bluish.  I am used to that now. The back side is calligraphy without the bamboo. It has to be opened only as much as the picture, because it is very light weight and will tip over if opened too wide.  It is very easy to move, and I have used it in several places to block the view temporarily.  It was shipped without damage, and I have gotten my money's worth out of it already.
