I found a sturdy but old, ornate room divider that is hinged into 3 parts at a Salvation Army Store. The hinges were in perfect shape, no rust, full range of motion, and it's about 5' tall. In order to be used as a room divider again, it would need to be refinished. It's faded, not peeling or rough, but it doesn't look very nice. I think that's why I got it for $3.00!!! Talk about the bargain of the week! I took it home, hung a vinyl table cloth on one side, cloth side out, as fabric sticks to this, as you now know. On the other side, I hung an old flannel sheet, and I pin things to this side. It's amazingly light, so turning it around or moving it is not a problem. I can either unhook the tablecloth or sheet and roll them up if I want to take them somewhere. Or I can simply fold the tri-fold room divider up flat, and slide it into the corner of my closet. If I don't want to squash what I'm working on, the tablecloth and sheet come down easily, rool right up, and go under the bed, and the now flat room divider disappears into the closet. Poof! It's out of sight! It works for me! And if I can whip them around, at 5'2", 105 Lb, you know it's light and easy.

Something to think about. Maybe something else out there like it?
