I love this lamp! It goes perfectly in my MCM home! I am sooooooo grateful for the other reviews that contained the helpful hints about assembling this lamp. Because of those helpful hints, I was able to assemble this lamp quickly and without any assistance from anyone else. Also, when it was assembled, I noticed that it was slightly uneven, but I quickly fixed this by putting a sticky felt pad under the base of the lamp where it needed to be raised a little, and that worked perfectly to even it out.  I love this sturdy, stylish lamp!
