I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. The screen couldn't have fit the space any better if I had someone come and premeasure for one. Best of all, there was no assembly required - just pulled it out of the box and stood it up. It is very sturdy and doesn't appear that it would topple over very easy. I am using it to cover the furnace/water heater in my laundry room. However, I do not have it free-standing in the middle of anything, so can't say for sure. I might have paid a little bit more for this particular screen, but I didn't want  one of the rice paper, flimsy ones. Anyway, I just love it and am very happy that I ordered it.
