Made from steel, this room divider panel will introduce style to any room thanks to its modern geometric design. Additionally weather-resistant so you can use it both indoors and outdoors, its slightly elevated design will give the illusion of more space in any area.

The stark black finish of this divider will create an especially cool contrast in a lighter room. However, it could make a smaller space appear narrower as darker colors naturally have this effect. Because of this, it’s best for a room with large windows and high ceilings.

Extremely affordably priced, this divider screen can be used both indoors and outdoors. Crafted with a steel frame and a polyester screen, it doesn’t fully reach the ground, meaning it’s ideal for even small spaces.

The multiple color choices and large size of this screen make it a good all-round pick for a patio or outdoor pool area. However, it isn’t the best option for states that have extreme weather conditions or windy states because of its lightweight construction.

Well made and aesthetically pleasing screen. The fabric was taut when mounted and made of a think "sunbrella" type fabric. Highly recommend!
