This stunning 84-inch Double Cross Shoji Screen was handmade in South China. The screen is 84 inches tall x 54 inches wide and was hand-made from spruce wood and strong pressed pulp rice paper; horizontal matchsticks reinforce the rice paper panels. The rice paper allows diffused light while providing complete privacy. Choose from finishes in natural, honey, rosewood, or black. .
The Story Behind the Product
This factory is located in the Guangdong region of mainland China and run by a wonderful family that we here at Overstock.com have befriended over the course of several years. The father is the main person in charge and employs many family members. Day to day operations are run by an aunt while the son is being groomed to take over once his father retires - all of this family greatly adds to the quality and productivity of this factory. Over 300 skilled and non-skilled craftsman work together, passing knowledge and craftsmanship from generation to generation. The working conditions of this group are excellent. The workers always seem to be smiling and are often excited to have new visitors. The factory provides an excellent lunch each day for the staff (my stomach can attest to this), the workers' clothes are clean and the environment seems organized and well run. Attending strictly to the local and international anti-dumping and fair trade practice laws, Oriental Homes is proud to bring a piece of their culture into your home.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

"Perfect as a room divider for guest room. Put two sets end to end to go accross whole room and secured one end to wall for extra stability. They stay against the wall, as "out of of the way decoration" when not needed. Kind of conference room divider with class !"

"This screen provides me with privacy and adds to my living room. I recently bought my first home. The living room has a nice sliding door onto the patio, which lets lots of light into the room. My plants like this, but I didn't like the fact that my rear neighbor could look right into my house--especially at night. Vertical blinds seem to be the popular solution to privacy on sliding doors, but I don't like vertical blinds. I thought about curtains, but I could not find anything that I liked. Everything seemed to darken the room. Then, I thought about a privacy screen. My furnishings are in the Shaker and Craftsman family. I was skeptical that a Shoji screen would blend. However, this double-cross Shoji screen works well. The smooth surfaces and straight lines pick up details of the other furniture. The wood finish is a little lighter than my other furniture, but it sits away from the other pieces, so the difference in finish is not glaring. I can always darken it later with a little stain if I like. In the meantime, the screen gives me privacy, and it reflects light back into the room at night--actually brightening the room. In the morning as I leave for work, I collapse the screen and give my plants their much loved sunlight. Easy. Convenient. Attractive. No assembly is a plus. It arrived ready to go right out of the box. Thanks Overstock!"

84in Double Cross Shoji Screen,June 9, 2007
By izfrabfrom Atlanta, GA
"WOW! This is how I decribe this screen. It is tall enougn to hide my treadmill and wide enough to enhance my bedroom. I needed something that was beautiful and this more than exceeded my expectations. Everyone that sees it wants one and I just tell them that they can not go wrong ordering it from overstock. The rosewood is simply beautiful and I just love how it separates what I don't want to see. When I walk into my room now, I just say, " WOW!"

"I purchased this shoji screen a couple months ago to cover a small HVAC closet in the corner of my living room. Besides it's great looks, this item is also well-crafted and solid in structure. I have received many positive comments from friends. The screen arrived quickly with no damage and requires no assembly.
Very happy with this purchase and with the 10% off coupon this item is atleast $20 cheaper than anyother website."
