I put this guy together alone. It took me longer to clean up the tiny syrofoam pieces everywhere. I had intended to use it in a room with the union rug. It looks Hot Orange next to a really red piece  or even in close proximity. It is red in the grey room. On the back side you can see where the strip of wood was joined and glued. It is covered with color well and is in the backside. That little flaw may be why I see these guys in all the colors on clearance from time to time. I'm happy with it and the brand.

Pros: Assembly A+
Cons: Not red hot!
