Robert Williamson (1885-1954) was by all accounts a master of many crafts and an early entrepreneur. After having fished with his father and uncle for several years around 1920 he opened a barber shop along with a cycle agency and cycle repair shop in Commercial Street, Lerwick. Then, apparently, he turned his interests to wireless sets, and this business flourished throughout Shetland. Next he took to photography, which greatly interested him, and he opened a studio across from the existing businesses. He took many passport photos during the war, and used some of his outside views to print postcards for tourists later on. Also, according to the records, he excelled as a wood craftsman, once winning a cup at an Arts and Crafts Exhibition. Added to all this he was interested in Fair Isle knitting, and possibly knitted himself. He collected patterns and printed them in standard exercise books using stencils. The patterns were usually printed in red and green bands, and these would have indicated to the knitter where a colour change usually occurred. Interspersed with these traditional patterns are ‘fantasy’ patterns … He even printed the letters of the alphabet. In total, I have managed to study some 60 different pages (excluding the tartan book which I treat separately), and it is these traditional patterns that I have used for this catalogue. It is by no means an exhaustive collection of all the different pages he ever printed, but simply all that I have had the privilege to see and record. Some readers will be surprised that many of the more popular patterns, for instance those that repeat on 12 stitches, are absent from this work. All that I can say is that they are either newer patterns or simply ones that he did not print or that I have not seen. – Mary Macgregor.

4/5 Stars
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Very tall and easy to set up, the only thing I will say is that they do have large gaps in between, so you won't have 100% privacy unless you add a curtain in the back. Other than that, they are easy to fold, sturdy, and esy to assemble. The gaps are an easy fix so I would say they are worth it.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.

Attractive
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
The assembled product is just as described. The screens look great! I am using them to hide the cluttered shelving in my garage. The area now looks quite neat Something I must say, though, is that the assembly was extremely difficult. I had to use a silicone spray and some pounding to get the A and B poles to fit together. Also, it required a great deal of strength to stretch and hold the fabric panels so that the bars inserted in each hem lines up with the screws inserted in A/B poles. I strongly recommend having a partner to help with the assembly. while sc and screw into poles them once inserted intetchedtne end of each pole ( and B poles barely fit together. I used silicone spray on the end and then pounded them

It’s beige and not white. Once install - hard to disinstall. Need a drill to put it together

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.
