Dungeon Master's Screen 4-Panel Wood Laser Carved DM Screen with Felt Case - D&D, Tabletop RPG Accessories for Game Master

I got this as a gift for a friend. I read the reviews some good some bad. I bought anyways because it was laser cut and everything should be exact. I seen where some people mentioned screw holes didn't line up. Then they posted a picture. Going by the picture it was error on their part. Whenever you have to line up multiple holes on a part you never crank down on the screws. You get the screws started then move to next. This allows the part to float to accept the hole alignment. Same thing when changing a tire on a car. You never crank all the way down on first bolt. You tighten all evenly all the way around until flush. Every screw hole or nail hole was dead on. The nails I had to use tweezers to hold as I tapped in. They were tiny. I stained it then did a black wash on it to bring out the etching from the laser. It helped but would be nice if the laser etching was a tad wider or deeper. The one in the picture looks ideal to me. Kind of like the laser was turned up higher and burned the wood more making it more apparent. But over all I think this came out great and should make a nice gift.

It's quite nice now that it's put together, and the giftee seems to like it a lot more than the cardboard one he was using. : )

This product is of decent quality, though for the price, there could definitely be improvements. First off, unlike some of the other reviewers, I had no issues with holes lining up, and the hardware installed rather easily. It just takes a loooong time. The hardware, while not expected to be top of the line, was a bit lacking in quality, as a majority of the pieces in my kit were slightly bent, and had to be hammered lightly with a mallet before installing. The engraved design needs work. Entirely too lightly etched if you plan to do any sort of staining/finishing of the wood before use. I stained with a light brown stain, coated with two coats of poly, and finished with a couple of layers of wax sealer, and the design has virtually disappeared. Not an overt deal breaker, as the design is only meh, but if that design is part of the pricing on this piece, then the quality of that etching needs to be stepped up. Also manufacturer may wish to rethink the cross motif, as it seems a bit out of place with DnD and most RPGs this would be used with.With all that being said, the product is overall of decent quality, if not a tad overpriced given the few flaws it does feature. I look forward to getting it to my game table soon.

This is amazing. It’s very cool, it looks great. People are upset you have to make it even tho the description tells you that that’s the case. It isn’t hard either, I got it done in a solid 45 minutes. A lot of people are also complaining about the untranslatable “arabic” even though it’s actually Draconic. Over all, I give it a 10/10. I gave it to my Bf who’s DMing our campaign and he is obsessed with it and all of our friends think it’s awesome. Some of the corners are a little sharp, so just be careful!

It is still a beautiful gift, I wish it came with all necessary tools to put it together. I made the mistake of not looking at the title and thought it was already put together, but I had to assemble it myself. You have to be very careful when using the screws and nails, since they are very tiny.

The package arrived. The largest middle part of screen is slightly bowed (doesn't say flat when placed on the table), not a fan of the company logo and website in the middle of the screen and so prominent. I was hoping for the simple side screen art work, but the rogue for character on one screen looks like a creepy pirate. The planes of existence is fine, if you do dnd with it and not other games. Not sure if we will keep or send it back and just make something from plywood that is a little bigger since we don't like the logo being so central or the pirate (seriously that is what he looks like). If you have books and such it would be difficult to see bottom of the screen. 4 inches taller and a bit wider would be handy for the DM. If we keep it we might have spent a lot of money for just the hardware if we scrap the screens themselves. The detail work and style is good.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son. I am super happy with the quality and the etchings and it really isn't so difficult to put together. The other reviews worried me, but if you take your time and line up the screws/nails it all works out fine. Can't wait for him to see it!

First of all, let me talk about the production value of this screen. You have to put it together yourself (not terrible), but the provided screws are cheap (not all of ours were even full routed). They stripped and threaded constantly (cheap material). This using the provided screw driver (which is also cheap and suffered rolls and flakes during use). I had to use their screw driver because the guide holes they put in the boards don't line up properly. My power screw driver either couldn't screw in the screws against the resistance, or tore up the screw before the torque got high enough to deal. The hinges need to be carefully floated in order for it to close lined up (nearly impossible), and even when you do, because of hinge placement, it does not close flat.All that could be forgiven, if the end result looked cool. I should have looked at the images much more carefully, I guess. The burned in decorations leave a great deal to be desired. They are all one sided, btw--outside only, the GM side is flat, blank panels (you do have your clips for putting up your own notes, of course). The biggest eyesore is the giant advertisement for czyy's website. But the other text has various mispellings, drawings are rather mishappen... It's pretty poor showing. The idea is solid, but the execution was terrible. Pretty disappointed.
