We live in a small one bedroom apartment on the pool level.  Instead of purchasing very long curtains and having them installed, I decided to purchase this beautiful screen that now "doubles" as curtains while acting as the perfect backdrop in our apartment.  We love it because we can let as little or as much sunlight as we like in by adjusting the blinds behind the screen without compromising the privacy in our apartment overlooks the pool.  The screen is extremely modern and is a great choice for people who do want to stray away from oriental decor.   I am glad that I chose the light grey/platinum panel because it goes perfectly with our existing decor grey/beige decor.   I wake up each morning extremely happy with my purchase.
