When put together and placed in my living room, this item looks exactly how it appeared in the picture.  I was worried about the construction, it the three towers would be solid.  They are strong enough once you put in place the two plastic plates.  So far I'm very happy.

Pros: Item provides a lot of light and does not take up too much space in my mind.
Cons: There is a lot of excess cord going to the three lights.  You will likely need to take off the bottom plate and put the excess there and then put the plate back.
