Just got mine, man this thing is super impressive and heavy. Chrome on mine looks flawless, and it works as expected. Really something I never thought I'd have.
Regarding power, you could always get a very slim power bank and just sit it on top of that, but yeah theres gotta be a way to route a USB-C to a lithium Ion battery and stick it in the base somehow.
I kind of want to out this thing in a case to keep it from getting dusty and dulling the chrome finish somehow. I dont have detolf shelfs. I think this one would work.
