Took about 20mins to set up- Instructions were a bit confusing regarding the bottom screw (which is located within the bars) but you can easily youtube a video to help. I am using this as an alternative to a curtain room divider in my studio apt until I build a real wall later on and it does the job perfectly. Added my own curtains and it's a much cheaper (about 1/4 cost) of any other curtain/partition. Plus, can be used for photo shoots in future as well.
