This is a really nice product, all the pieces arrived safe and secure in the box. There is a lot of packaging but that's not a big deal.
I spent about 4 hours putting this together on my own.
The most difficult part it attaching the tops of the units, the screws they give you are too short and don't secure the tops to the base.
I was so exhausted that I just set it up and if there is any kids at my house they are not allowed touch it.
There is no noise from a spinning piece like mentioned in previous reviews and no smell when turned on. I only use it for the light now as my apartment is always very hot.
It looks great and friends have mentioned how realistic it looks and that it was meant for the space.
Very happy with my purchase.
