I like this very much, but have a few suggestions:  Ship the octagon portion of this already assembled as that was the only tricky part.  Also, and even more importantly, countersink the screws and lose the "decals".  If they are countersunk, caps can be supplied to cover the screws.  As it is, it's not a good look and I have to find things to strategically place to cover all the tacky looking decals.
