It looks exactly as it is pictured. The colors are incredibly brilliant when the sun shines through them and I love the cheeriness it brings to my living room. It’s the perfect size for a standard window - nicely framed and doesn’t obscure the view too much. It shipped quickly and arrived ahead of schedule. It was expertly packaged and in perfect condition on arrival. I only gave 4 stars because it lacked any kind of booklet, instructions and no mounting hardware or even a suggestion as to what to use. I would up securing it to the window with a command hook that I superglued to the window frame!
