Once assembled, it looks fairly decent. But, one glaring issue for me is that while they took the time to recess 2 of the screws that mount the large wooden ring that forms the top of the frame around the globe, so that they didn't interfere with the hinge that mounts over them, they left the other 2 not recessed, which looks ugly and unprofessional, and all to save maybe 2 minutes of machine time!! OK for the price, I guess, but I'd rather have paid $5 more and had those screws recessed. Very 'UN-classy' & cheesy!
