It is as pictured. First, it comes in three pieces but the good news is that, for someone as challenged as I am, it was VERY easy to assemble.  I have a number of copper pieces and this helps to accent my reddish tan to reddish brown room. I used two for my speaker stands for my television and two for stands on either side of my couch. One does not see much copper around for furniture, so I was happy to purchase them.
