This was very easy to setup and use. Plenty of buttons to control via remote and the lighting was nice with options to change colors and brightness. Although you could make some shapes, you would need to buy more panels to expand your options here. Since this uses a USB power supply, portability is a big positive as I powered this with a portable battery pack.  I don't think there were enough included connectors to make the shape study enough. I had to use duct tape to keep my shape more solid and to keep from tipping over.
