It looks exactly as it does in the picture and came preassembled! My only concern is that it is pretty lightweight and that the wind might blow it over if I position it incorrectly in the room. Also, just one notable flaw--one of the end panels' leg seems shorter than the others, so it sort of hangs there, but stays in place if I get the other middle panels just right. I'm pleased with the look of it and is definitely what I was looking for!
