Great option for a professional looking backdrop
Color: Black, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
I decided to try these wall dividers for my home office space since it does not have a door. I wanted to have my video calls without the rest of the room in the feed to give it a more professional feel. These being on castors make them super easy to move into position and roll off to the side when not in use. They are stable, much more than the folding screens I have tried in the past. That they are connected by the middle piece and not the top/bottom of each other allows you to adjust the positioning to your needs. Overall, this did exactly what I needed and was an affordable option. I also like that they are highly portable: if you want to take them for a booth or event, the poles all disassemble into manageable lengths that easily fit in a car and take very little time to set up again. The only thing I would change is to include a bag to store them in for transportation.

if you are going to be moving them a lot, buy something more sturdy.
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-6 Panel
I use these at our churchc. They are pretty good, not terribly study and the screw that hold the faabric have pulled out in a couple of places. But they wqould work especially well if you were not constantly moving them as we do. They are a bit of a pain to assemble.
