"A writer to read and reread."--The Economist Following the success of Aquarium which was a New York Times Editor's Choice and garnered numerous rave reviews, David Vann transports us to 13th century B.C. to give a nuanced and electric portrait of the life of one of ancient mythology's most fascinating and notorious women, Medea. In brilliant poetic prose Bright Air Black brings us aboard the ship Argo for its epic return journey across the Black Sea from Persia's Colchis--where Medea flees her home and father with Jason, the Argonauts, and the Golden Fleece. Vann's reimagining of this ancient tale offers a thrilling, realist alternative to the long held notions of Medea as monster or sorceress. We witness with dramatic urgency Medea's humanity, her Bronze Age roots and position in Greek society, her love affair with Jason, and her tragic demise. Atmospheric and spellbinding, Bright Air Black is an indispensable, fresh and provocative take on one of our earliest texts and the most intimate and corporal version of Medea's story ever told.Binding Type: Paperback

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.

Difficult Assembly and Very Unstable
Extremely difficult to assemble. It seems like the metal wasn't cut well. Some things screw right in, while others will make your hands raw trying.
It is true to size, which is great, aside from the fact that with how hard it is to build, disassembling and reassembling for storage would be a nearly impossible task, and it's extremely hard to tuck away anywhere fully built with the size and feet on the bottom.
It's also pretty unstable and doesn't stand fully straight, which is a little nerve wracking with pets in the room.
I am dreading dissassembling this thing to return it once I have something to replace it, but trust that I will be ASAP.

Didn’t come with all the Parts - Essentially Worthlist Return in process. Huge inconvenience
Product came with everything but the rubber pads that receives the screws so it’s essentially worthless upon arrival. Now I have to go out of my way to go to UPS to send it back and process a return which will take 7 business days until I can receive a refund. I was excited for this package too what a complete let down !

Excellent privacy shade.
Color: Coal Black
This delivered on exactly what it promises. So happy with the quality for the value. The shades are a fabric, nylon like, that are attached with a pocket on one end and velcro that adheres around the bar on the other.
This was incredibly easy and straightforward to put together. Every piece was clearly labeled, coordinated with the instruction sheet, and fit perfectly. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to leave a review but I was so impressed by how clearly labeled and well explained the instructions were that I felt compelled to note it. Especially for anyone who doesn’t like putting things together, or is used to subpar instructions, this is leagues above the rest. It’s such a simple build anyway, but after buying so many things that barely fit as they should, this stands out.
It is lightweight and easy to move. Offers privacy when opened, then can be folded out of the way. It looks exactly as pictured. No complaints, it’s a solid item and worth the price.
