It's a non load bearing interior wall.

What's with all of the people thinking this is unsafe? They act like the pre-existing arch wasn't already there and that you're not just adding a decorative, non-load bearing wall with a door....

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it looks flimsier in the pictures than it actually is in person.

I take pride in my work - if I didn't think it was solid enough, I'd have done it differently. The customer didn't ask for something that could withstand a battering ram.
