Wanted:
One young woman to take care of four-year-old boy. Must be cheerful, enthusiastic and selfless--bordering on masochistic. Must relish sixteen-hour shifts with a deliberately nap-deprived preschooler. Must love getting thrown up on, literally and figuratively, by everyone in his family. Must enjoy the delicious anticipation of ridiculously erratic pay. Mostly, must love being treated like fungus found growing out of employers Herm s bag. Those who take it personally need not apply.

Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day.

When the Xs' marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity and, most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude.

Written by two former nannies, The Nanny Diaries deftly punctures the glamour of Manhattan's upper class.

Easy Install, Great Quality, Mobile Partition
Color: Grey
This is the easiest install I've ever had in my life, took about 5 minutes. These panels come pre-assembled, minus the wheels, which screw into the base pieces in pairs. The material is a very pleasant "corporate grey" - I only worry about its color fastness over time. I needed a practical solution for my garage, which has glass garage doors that let in a ton of sun/heat and even with privacy film still parade around my tools and belongings visibly to anyone walking by. These partitions are functional for both of my needs, and if I have a visitor needing to park in my second spot it takes 5 seconds to wheel these out of the way.

Nice, convenient partition that absorbs sound
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
What stood out * Instant partition: This 3-panel foldable office partition helps to create quiet zones in a shared room, and it genuinely helped carve out a more focused space without a major renovation. The panels feel substantial yet easy to move thanks to the wheels, so I can roll them into position when I need privacy or a professional background for video meetings. I can fold them flat against a wall when I don’t nee them. The aluminum frame gives it enough rigidity to stay upright, and the gray finish is neutral. The height and width are generous for desktop setups, meetings, or study areas, and because it’s modular you can arrange it in L-shapes, straight lines, or even semi-circles. The mobility makes it flexible for dynamic spaces — roll it out for working hours, tuck it away after. * Sound insulation: It's heavy, which is better for sound isolation. The sound-dampening design isn’t miracle acoustic treatment, but it noticeably softens background chatter and echoes — enough to make video calls and focused work feel less disrupted. * Assembly is super easy, but I would recommend to have two people to make it easier. What to keep in mind * It’s not sound-proof like a built-in wall, so loud noises still carry; it’s best for softening ambient sounds, not blocking them completely. * The gray color is neutral, but if your room palette is bold you might want to accent with décor so it doesn’t look utilitarian. You can also tack posters and light pictures to the the gray frames. * It's pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Decent dividers
Color: Grey
I think you will love these under the right circumstances. Number one the sound absorption is hard to describe because since the panels don't go to the roof sound can easily travel to the other so you and without being hindering but they do absorb sound to a certain extent. They also provide pretty good coverage for privacy in an office or dorm situation with ease. I wouldn't say it's easy to store but it does fold up pretty well and overall for the price it's an effective means of letting those around you know you need some peace. For the price it's a pretty good divider. It requires very little assembly and is relatively sturdy so all in all not a bad option. Until We Meet Again -Off The Grid Ken

Very functional, well made, and looks great!
Color: Grey
My wife and I both work from home but for different companies. We have separate office spaces but they are without a door between them. There are times when we both are on either voice or video calls when we can hear each other on the calls. Other times, I have to walk past her office space and behind her desk to get to other areas of the house. We really needed something to help block some of the ambient sound and to obscure me from her video calls when I'm going past to let the dogs out. These foldable partitions are a great solution for us. The wheels make them easy to move into place when needed, and to store away when they are not. The wheels also lock, making them stable where we set them. The assembly was easy and quick, with only the simplest of instructions needed. Assembly tools were even included. These are large and a bit heavy for one person to move before assembly, so get the wheels on them for easier movement. I've researched how much these can cost new from the commercial office suppliers, and these are a good value.
