Easy to assemble and looks just like the picture, except for one difference, the cord. Of course we all know it requires one but the aesthetic shown without the cord is far better than in reality. And you can't hide the cord. Either you hide the exit point by facing the cord leg toward the room, but now you see the cord run, or you hide the cord run but expose the cord exit hole. You'll find yourself having an OCD moment trying to find the perfect angle - it doesn't exist.
