I initially purchased this as a room divider, but found that it was a great Zoom background for use in my home office. Not only does it dampen sound, but it is made of non-toxic materials and did not have a strong odor, unlike similar products. I like the ridges on the divider, which add a bit of visual interest. The product is solidly built and arrived with no damage. I expect to get a lot of use out of this, and will eventually use it to divide a larger room into two smaller rooms in another area of the house.
