I absolutely love this lamp! I will say it required a bit more assembly than I'd like but I'm also just not a super patient person those things and it was pretty easy to put together. It was packaged very well so I wouldn't worry about it breaking upon arrival. It comes with a cool light bulb so don't waste your time ordering one unless you want a different look. For me, the lightbulb it comes with fits the whole look of the lamp and has a vintage feel to it. It's also quite dim which I'm fine with but I wouldn't expect to be amazed at how bright it is if that's what you're looking for I'd put in a different bulb.
