Overall, I really like the look of the base. Super easy to assemble, except one of the pre-drilled holes was misaligned and unable to fit the screw (my husband—pretty handy guy—unsuccessfully attempted to correct the hole with a drill). Also, there is a water mark on the stainless steel that I couldn’t clean; fortunately, it’s not that noticeable. All that said, we really like it, but probably because the base we had before was so ugly LOL
