On the plus side, aesthetically they're pretty reasonable. This is a
light-duty tower with a limited amount of capacity. If you live in a windy area,
I'd be pretty careful.

Huh?!? Where does the manufacturer specify guy-wires? More amateur
engineering. :-( My advice is to follow the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what the
manufacturer says." The reverse is also true.
