Portable house screen

I have to work in the living room with my back to the room so I need to make sure behind me is clean, tidy and if someone comes in the room they are on my zoom call. I want a screen to put behind me to make a bit of privacy, it needs to be freestanding and look OK, but be less then 50 pounds. I can only see ugly office ones or really expensive nice ones. Can anyone help?

Why don't you just blur your background using zoom?

Because I'm new to the company and no one else does that, I would rather have an area to hide (might help me concentrate as well)

Why does it matter how other people deal with it? Just use an imported background or blur yours, surely that's easier.
And cheaper

What about looking for a cheap tri fold type bedroom one. I can understand the need to have a physical screen to help with working on

Maybe not the nicest, depending on your taste, but would do the job, is in budget and easy enough to put away when not in use (sorry I don't know how to do the shorter clicky links!)

What possible objection could they have to you blurring the background?

Have a look at Ikea as I'm sure they've got some room dividers that might work.
