Texans love to eat, and one dish they can t get enough of is chili so much so that chili con carne is Texas s state meal. This seemingly simple staple of Texan identity proves to be anything but, however. Beans or no beans? Beef, pork, or turkey? From a can or from scratch?" Texas Is Chili Country" is a brief look at the favored fare its colorful history, its many incarnations, and the ways it has spread both across the country and the world. The history includes chuckwagon chili, the chili queens of San Antonio, the first attempts at canned chili, the development of chili societies and the subsequent rivalries between them, and the rise of chili cook-offs.
And what would a book about chili be without recipes? There are no-fat recipes, vegan recipes, and recipes from Mexican-American cooks who have adapted this purely American food. Some have been tried, but many are taken on faith. Recipes are included from state celebrities such as Ladybird Johnson, Governor Ma Ferguson, and chili king Frank Tolbert."

It works perfectly for what I needed it for.
Color: Black, Size: Four Panel
Easy to assemble. Nice size in width and height. Perfect divider for our bedroom downstairs. Like the flexibility of having it straight or can use it in an accordion style.
Lightweight and sturdy.

Do NOY buy used.
4th time buying this, and thank god I did. Bought this last one as "used-like new"... instructions are missing, 4 screws are missing, the present ones were loose in the box, and the cloth panels are I-balled-them-up-and-used-them-to-play-basketball wrinkled. Do NOT buy this used. It's only because I had leftover parts and previous knowledge that I was able to assemble this.
On to product. Super lightweight, easy assembly, looks pretty clean up close and from a distance. Panels stay on bars via velcro. This is not a sturdy screen, so it's not for a kid's room. But if you want a room divider that has no other job than to divide with quiet dignity, it works.

Practice makes perfect
These are actually three separately assembled screens that link together once ready, so I could gauge the improvement in my capability as a screen-assembling artisan. I’m 71 so getting down on the floor wasn’t all that easy. The first screen took 90 minutes as I tried to decipher the typically less than ideal pictorial directions, and to figure out how to position everything (including myself) working in a fairly small space. But by the third assembly I was a skilled craftsman and assembled it in 15 minutes. They look nice and do what I had hoped. All the parts were there, well-labeled, and the threading on the screw mountings were adequate although one required a bit more cajoling than the rest and worried me a bit until I finally got it right.

Not good quality
Color: Black, Size: Four Panel
Not the easiest thing to assemble, the screwdriver provided doesn't work so I hope you have your own. The fabric panels were at least an inch too short and weren't long enough to stretch to top and bottom, strain on velcro made them pop off with the slightest movement. Once assembled the panels were assembled they weren't stable at all and would fall over easily. Not very safe

Better than expected!
I ordered this room divider for my small apartment and the quality is surprisingly pretty good for the price paid — sturdy metal poles, mid-weight fabric panels enough for privacy (i.e.: not so see-through), brand new screws, and thick plastic end connectors. Instructions are figures only — READ THE PICTURES CAREFULLY! Highly recommend having a second person to help with assembling the divider panels together. This took me and my friend over an hour to assemble partly because there’s only one hex key to tighten the screws (and I forgot to add the plastic end connectors to the #3-labeled poles, so I had to take it apart and then set it up again). Overall satisfied with this purchase.
