A compact folding screen assembly is comprised of a series of three or more hingedly interconnected panels. The panels are formed of a vertical array of beams which are generally H-shaped in vertical section, and include a central horizontal web, the ends of the web having vertical flanges. The flanges at one side of the beams of a first panel are coupled in spaced relation. The web of beams of a second adjacent panel extend through the space between the unconnected flanges of the first panel. Pivots extend between flanges of the second panel and webs of the first panel. The flanges of the beams of the second panel may pass through the webs of the beams of a third panel. When the panels are fully folded, the second panel is nested within the first and third panels providing a compact structure.
