The main complaint with the design doesn't involve its looks, but rather its functionality; both speakers are held up by a silver stand attached at a fixed angle that points toward your chest, assuming your desk isn't up to your chin. We enjoyed a much more pleasurable listening experience after stacking books and other objects to boost the speakers up to ear level, but we'd appreciate a tilt able stand next time.
