My husband and I love this set.  It's perfect for a couple of mechanical engineers!  We saw it in a furniture store and knew we needed to have the whole set immediately, so we were quite excited when we saw it on Wayfair for almost half the price.  We must point out what true engineers will notice immediately, though...if you have any mechanically-inclined friends or relatives that will see your set up, do not interconnect all gears (mirrors) with each other like the pictures show...if they are all interlocked, they can't actually move!  We know, we know, these are just mirrors, but definitely only interconnect one on one if you want to impress your STEM friends.
