Dimensions are weird, but it’s nice
The inserts it comes with are completely useless to me. Reference-sheets are cool and for someone new to D&D it might be nice, but I’m not new so they aren’t. Some people like to make to make things awful for themselves and DM more than 4 players so it’s frustrating that the player reference sheet only supports 4. I do not see myself ever using these sheets ever, I’d rather make my own. Save for the “tome” covers, those look nice and I was expecting those to be baked onto the screen itself. To see that EVERY side is customizable is very nice. Especially when you can use dry erase markers.That said, the dimensions of the sleeves are also strange and while the given inserts fit them just fine (after some effort), regular letter-size (8.5”x11”) paper will leave room on the sides while exactly hitting the top of the sleeves, which looks very strange. If you can somehow get something closer to 9.5” x 10.5” it might look significantly better. But I find it ironic that despite having sleeves like this they aren’t that well-suited to the most common printer dimensions. It’s not as friendly for the DIY crowd as you’d think.Oh and you have to fold this up in a VERY specific order. It does not like being folded the wrong way and you’ll know when you get it wrong within seconds of trying to pack it up. To be honest though, these are nitpicks at best. It’s still the best I could find and is legitimately good for the price.If you do like doing DIY stuff and want a similar “vibe” of fantasy-styled paper for your own inserts, look into Homebrewery. If you are willing to learn its specific flavor of markdown you can get inserts that look VERY close to these but with more customizability.

I enjoy peering ominously at my players over the top
It's lightweight and folds up very compact. It has a professional look, and I like to store paper notes, maps, and monster statblocks in the side that faces me. I roll my dice behind it for extra mystery and suspense. Sometimes I like to position myself behind it so my players can only see my eyes. It makes me feel like a creepy little goblin, in a good way.

A Custom-izable DM Screen I highly recommend
It's been crazy busy in my world, so it's been over a month since I received the 4-Panel Customizable DM Screen and thus far I'm very happy with it.ARRIVED: Nicely packaged in an attractive printed cardboard box/sleeve that seemed to keep it safe, no damage, no problems.USABILITY: The vinyl folio has 4 panels, each with transparent sleeves intended to receive 8.5"x11" slide in sheets with either images (facing out) or data (facing in). One can either use the pre-printed images and forms included with this product (if they work for the game you're running) or you can print / make your own 8.5"x11" inserts. I suspect either card stock or paper will work. The ones that come with the product are printed on paper. I'm running D&D5e, and the forms weren't made for that, so I'll be making my own inserts.FACINGS: Based on the way the 4 panel folio wants to naturally curve, the way the product arrived, it seemed that the images were on the inward facing side (concave) of the folio leaving the outward facing (convex) side to receive the data sheets. That's backwards from how I use my screens, so I just slid the images out and slid them into the sleeves on the opposite side. NOTE - the images assume 2 end images and 2 middle images, so if you want to use the ones you see in the product pictures, there is a "right" way to arrange them (probably 4 right ways = 2 valid end position options x 2 valid center panel options).SPREAD - compared to my normal DM screens which are made of panels wider than they are tall, this taller than wide arrangement is nice for games where people are sitting in close and you want to get a bit of privacy from people sitting close off your elbows. I like the extra height. If you need to cover a lot of left-to-right distance, you may need to augment this screen as it's not the widest I have.SLEEVE EASE - I was a bit concerned about how easy it would be to get papers in and out of the sleeves on either side of the screen, but I've had no trouble at all so far. Sheets slide in and out easily.COLOR - Since the brand color for D&D5e is red, I went for the red vinyl version and I like the color very much - very vibrant and bright.SIZE/PORTABILITY - fits easily in my DM bag, though not inside my clam shell style clip board. Thicker and beefier than a standard D&D DM screen, these do take up a bit more room, but I don't find it to be a problem.Overall I'm very satisfied with this product and can't wait to come up with my own custom data and reference sheets and eventually my own custom art. The flexibility of being able to design both sides of this screen is hard to beat. I highly recommend this product to DMs/GMs who like the idea of taking control of their screen design. A great product.
