Plants bring into the room a breath of life and natural beauty. D.G. Hessayon

{HISTORY}

It's no wonder that this indoor garden manual and instruction guide is a fascinating read. It was written by D.G. (David Gerald) Hessayon, the world's most popular garden expert and seller of over 50 million copies of gardening books since  1958. A completely devoted lover of botany,  D.G. published this booklet in 1974, but it might as well have been yesterday for all the contemporary information it presents.  In quick, colorful bursts with lots of imagery and easy to understand instruction, this book is perfect for those in hurry to get their garden growing. From trendy succulents to traditional spider plants, this book appeals to all green thumbers who long to make their garden great.

Intended for nothing but straightforward success in the gardening department,  D.G. wasn't interested in wasting anyone's time or any plant's life when it came to selecting the right greenery for the right space. Here in 35 pages, he lays out all the options of possibility when it comes to outdoor plants that thrive in indoor conditions. Touching on specific plant selection, lighting, watering, placement, season change, care and contentment, this is the most comprehensive mini guide, we've ever come across in the Vintage Kitchen. It even beats the internet as far as quickly delivering information on the vast variety of options for the indoor garden. Topics stretch to cut flowers and cutting gardens, as well as container selection and arrangement to ensure a green thumb for everyone.

Functional not durable
Color: Grey, Size: 1 Large Panel
When first assembled, it looked exactly like the picture. However, over time, the top bar has begun to bow. The metal bars are weaker than I expected. It is still doing it's job providing privacy but the quality is not quite up to par. The height, color, and functionality are all exactly as described. If you need an inexpensive room divider, this is a great option. I don't expect it to last more than a year or two, but I would still recommend this product for those needing something fast, easy to assemble, and don't need for an extended period of time.

Good Product
Size: 3 Panel-102'', Color: Beige
I got these dividers for outdoor use for some privacy from neighbors. They arrived quickly and were easy to set up. They look good, and though the legs don’t offer stability against any amount of wind—which I expected as it wasn’t advertised for outdoor use—all it took was placing a cinder block on the feet to hold it up right. Coverage is good, it’s easy to fold and move as needed, and it’s light weight. All in all a decent product. I will caution the purchase of “used like-new,” as both of the dividers I ordered were previously returned items, and one came missing a cap, instructions were not included, and the poles were all mixed up and not properly labeled. If I had not ordered a second divider (which did include the instructions) I would have had a much harder time figuring out which pieces were which and how to put them together.

So versatile! Perfect solution for dividing a room.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey, Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
Perfect solution for my space. My office has to double as the hangout room for the kids and I wanted something that would block off my computer so it is left alone. This space allows me to close off my computer as much or as little as I want. It is lightweight yet has sturdy feet. This is important so that if it gets bumped it won’t topple over. The price was great and the build time wasn’t too bad! I would recommend two people for set up. I went with the grey panels and I think I’ll end up hanging some twinkle lights at some point. Great purchase!

4/5 Stars
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Very tall and easy to set up, the only thing I will say is that they do have large gaps in between, so you won't have 100% privacy unless you add a curtain in the back. Other than that, they are easy to fold, sturdy, and esy to assemble. The gaps are an easy fix so I would say they are worth it.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.
