Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 31-1-2007(46): This folding screen looks quite pretty, with all the national flags printed on it, but folding and unfolding it is rather complicated. It looks more like a puzzle than a utility item.

2) [timcampbell] 22-11-2008(27): Someone took an old fence (#1056 塀), brushed the dirt off it and turned it into a folding screen.

3) [to_nihon] 27-12-2008(4): I'm throwing up the white flag of surrender after having to put together yet another Ikea folding screen. They fit together like a puzzle, and I've had quite enough of trying to put together these puzzles for one day.

4) [perrin4869] 10-7-2010(2): I bought a folding screen, but it turns out that it was more of a do-it-yourself kind of puzzle to put together! I raised the white flag in surrender after a few hours of struggling.

5) [oregum] 9-1-2009(1): The folding screen is decorated with FLAGS, but its like a PUZZLE to open and close this thing. fence (#1056 塀).
