The year is 1862, and the Civil War rages through the South. On a Virginia tobacco plantation, another kind of battle soon begins. There, Cassius Howard, a skilled carpenter and slave, risks everything -- punishment, sale to a cotton plantation, even his life -- to learn the truth concerning the murder of Emoline, a freed black woman, a woman who secretly taught him to read and once saved his life. It is clear that no one cares about her death in the midst of a brutal and hellish war. No one but Cassius, who braves horrific dangers to escape the plantation and avenge her loss. As Cassius seeks answers about Emoline's murder, he finds an unexpected friend and ally in Quashee, a new woman brought over from another plantation; and a formidable adversary in Hoke Howard, the master he has always obeyed. With subtlety and beauty, Sweetsmoke captures the daily indignities and harrowing losses suffered by slaves, the turmoil of a country waging countless wars within its own borders, and the lives of those people fighting for identity, for salvation, and for freedom.Binding Type: Hardcover

Clean and functional
Color: Grey
This room divider is very functional and sturdy for a single-panel divider and stands securely without wobbling. The extra-thick material provides great privacy and helps visually separate the space.
The neutral grey color looks clean and modern, blending nicely with my décor. It was easy to set up right out of the box and didn’t require any complicated assembly. The height and width are perfect for creating a defined my home office space.

Not so good as expected.
Color: Grey
Pretty poor quality partition. It should hold up to normal indoor ware as long as to don’t touch it. If it is used in a garage (as I did) it will collapse.when subjected to any kind of a breeze at all. I had to reinforce the partition with cross-wires for added support and it was still not enough.

Functional but not attractive
Color: Black, Color: Black
I purchased this to hide my cats liter boxes as he refuses to use them unless they are on the finished side of our basement which is also my kids play room. This functions as I’d expect. It isn’t great to look at but better than cat boxes. Overall it might make a good backdrop if needed. My only complaint is the hex/allen wrench doesn’t fit in the screws provided. If you don’t have an alternative tool that’s a smaller hex it will be annoying to put together.

Does the job!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
This is a great screen to separate a space The base could be a bit sturdier, but for the price, it does the job! I recommend having a mallet for ease of assembly.
