Describe a freestanding, movable decorative screen as an item of furnishing, not as a building partition. Record its open footprint, folded size, panel count, materials and supplied parts. Obtain the exact manufacturer's use and assembly information, and ask the responsible local party to review placement and stability for the actual space.

What to confirm before proceeding
RecordWhat to make explicit
Use and locationState the room and the intended decorative purpose. Keep access routes and intended user conditions in the brief for local review; do not describe an unverified screen as a fire barrier, acoustic partition or child-safety device.
Open and folded sizeRequest the proposed open arrangement and its footprint, plus the folded dimensions and finished weight. Mark the exact configuration to which each measurement belongs.
Panels and finishesList frame and infill materials separately. Link finish and colour references to the item ID and confirm whether both faces are finished as required; do not infer the reverse face from a front-view image.
Joints, feet and partsIdentify supplied hinges, feet and other parts in the manufacturer's component list. Ask for use and assembly instructions for the actual model; a different product's instructions do not confirm this screen's behaviour.
Placement and receivingAssign the local review of placement and stability before use. At receipt, match labels and components and record visible condition. Stop and seek the responsible supplier or installer if the delivered item differs from the confirmed record.

Take this into your next conversation.
