Divisive Opinions: "This folding (and thus small-space-friendly) piece is so versatile! I love seeing customers use it for backdrops and decorative walls, not just dividing spaces." - Brynna Evans, LS Designer

"There are room dividers that create a modern look, with clean lines and minialist wood silhouettes, usually with functionality at the forefront (think shelf designs). The panel folding screen takes you back to the true purpose of room dividers, creating an old-school feel. It folds, in three-panel accordion-style, and is built with the materials and finish you would find in vintage farmhouse. The shutter-style facade creates a window illusion, and would have been a staple in a dressing room or bedroom. With the vintage feel and easy-to-arrange size, I recommend this for an added decorative touch anywhere your home can use a focal point! " - Adrian Palacios, LS Designer

Divisive Opnions: "Your space arrangements and home situations change down the road, as you move houses, or with growing families, and other life occurences. The Voyage by Nate and Jeremiah offers a quality, lifetime piece you can keep. When you no longer need it for dividing, use it flat against a wall for pure bookshelf purpose." - Brynna Evans, LS Designer

Divisive Opnions: "Etagere or open shelf bookcase room dividers have an advantage of modern style. The lines, geometric, clean, are built into the structure. This Benton divider is practical and simple, a solid choice for when you just need to organize more efficiently." - Brynna Evans, LS Designer

"What strikes me most about the Benton is its warm wood design, which defines while dividing. Imagine this in your home paired with a contrasting white sofa: the visual balance, with one or two vases placed on the shelves, creates a masterpiece of living room symmetry." - Adrian Palacios, LS Designer

Divisive Opnions: "This has a high-gloss lacquer finish, making it literally gleam. The white is a perfect way to fall into the color drenching trend — use this as a divider in a white modern space to brighten up the room!" - Adrian Palacios, LS Designer

Featured Review: "Fits great in our living room, assembly very easy!" - Anonymous

Best Features: - Fir wood construction

Size: 48"W x 1"D x 71"H

Divisive Opinions: "Soft, distressed white isn't something you see too much in modern, biophilic interiors. This privacy screen is more of a shabby chic aesthetic, going perfectly well with jars of sunflowers or roses punctuating the space around it. In a bedroom, this is the perfect companion for sheer flowy drapes or lace bedding, and especially a warm wood nightstand."- Brynna Evans, LS Designer

"Shown here, it's slightly folded, but you can stretch it out so it's almost flat. I mention this because the potential for this panel screen to be used as a backdrop is boundless. Framing a vignette, with a curated end table in front of it with chair and throw blanket, creates a relaxed and cozy nook!"- Adrian Palacios, LS Designer

Divisive Opinions: "Large bookcases are a home staple, and this one is strong, durable and made with a quality wood construction. I also like it for a behind-the-sofa look, in the same way a console or sofa table is traditionally used to fill the space behind the sofa. The advantage of trading off table for divider is you draw the eye up, and have more space for personal decorations."- Brynna Evans, LS Designer

"This flows well for breaking up a shared kids' room, where maybe two siblings want their own space, but not so much that they can't share some connection (it's not a closed-off wall). Also flows well in guest rooms!"- Adrian Palacios, LS Designer

Featured Review: "Wonderful and larger than I imagined, so it's perfect!" - Mary G S
