How to use

Unfold the panel on a flat, stable floor surface and arrange the panels to the desired angle for stability and coverage. Position the screen where privacy or visual separation is needed, ensuring that the feet or edges are clear of loose rugs or cables to prevent tipping. For photography or display use, adjust the angle and distance from the subject to achieve the preferred background appearance and light diffusion. When not in use, fold the panels together and store the screen in an upright position or flat under furniture if space allows.

Usage recommendations

To prolong the life of the panel, avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct outdoor weather. Clean surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners or saturate the panels. For stable placement on uneven floors, slightly adjust the panel angles rather than forcing the frame. Use the screen as a non-load-bearing decorative element only — do not lean heavy objects against it.
