Practical, understated and does what it's supposed to do. This is not a good quality item, but it's more than acceptable for the price. The size works well in my small bedroom, and the design is simple.. I picked the white to open up the space and make it airy and bright. I also purchased the assembly based on other customers' comments indicating it was quite a difficult job. It took two hours for the Handyman to set it up, and it came out perfect.
