Unfortunately you have to put the lamp shades together which is cumbersome. When putting the material on the rings the Velcro did not connect. I called and was supposed to be sent new ones which never came. Concierge customer service did follow up and finally sent replacements. Those had a top ring that was slightly smaller so the material barely came together but the bottom ring would not join together. I had to take pieces from the original lamp and mix with pieces of the replacement lamp. I didn’t even open the second lamp. The whole process was very not easy. I tried calling the concierge number I was given but the recording said they were closed even though it was during normal business hours.
