It looks great. Make sure that it’s watered sparingly and that it has adequate drainage 👍

I reccomend cutting off the flower on the top as it’s a parasite and causes the cactus to have a much shorter life span :/

Looks great. I would cut off the flower to increase the life span of your cacti. Make sure to water it only when the soil is 100% dry especially since that pot is big. It’s fine if water comes out the home on the bottom when you water it, just don’t let it sit in a puddle of water for too long.

I quite like the contrast with the colours, the pot helps the colours pop!
Like most plants after transplanting you’ll want to given it time to recover. Give some bright indirect sunlight and avoid bright windows for a week or so. Skip all fertilizers and tonics for roughly 6 weeks while you let those roots recover.

One thing to watch for is the slight lean with the graft on top, it will outpace the base, in the future it might need support.
