Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

If you need a PSU for a system up to 400 watts with backlight, so that it looks beautiful, you can take it.
Analogues with illumination in this budget - especially you will not find.
But. It is better to add and take something decent watts for 500 honest and even with detachable cables. It will not be as beautiful, but much more practical.
One can even find be Quiet!

Pros

1) Price 2) RGB backlight 3) Workmanship 4) Long warranty period 5) Braided cables

Cons

1) INCREDIBLE DOWNLOADS The 12 volt line drops to ~ 11.9 already at consumption in the region of 120-150 watts. At peak consumption of my system (Ryzen 2700 + GTX1070) around 350W, it drops to 11.7-11.75. 2) Temperature regime It heats up enough to affect the temperature of the system if you put it as a fan inside the system unit. After turning the PSU with the fan down, all temperatures in idle decreased by 2-3 degrees, and under load - by all 4. 3) A set of cables. Sata - 6 pieces, molexes - 4, but 8 pin connectors - generally only two. 4) No external control for backlight. Plugging in an external control via a 4-pin connector is much easier than fencing the built-in control system. Why they didn't is unclear.
