I needed this to give some privacy to guests who stayed in my living room periodically. It was great for that and added a nice flare to the room. I will say that they are pretty light, which means they can fall down easily. This was mostly a problem when they were used as a room divider. When used as a decorative screen (against a wall), there was no problem with them falling down. I think there are some stands you can buy that would solve that problem. Otherwise, I liked them quite a bit.
