"My screen arrived timely. Its beautiful and elegant. There is no damage to the silk as others had mentioned. There is a slight bit of rubbing on the edges, likely due to packaging -- there is only a thin slip of tissue paper inbetween the panels during shipping. It does not affect the beauty of the piece. I would recommend -- it looks much more expensive than it was."

"We bought this piece for a large wall that needed something dramatic but refined. The craftsmanship is PERFECT - absolutely no flaws, even though plenty of opportunities - stretched silk, tiny hammered nails, laquered frame. Very high quality!"
