Nice lamp. Very easy to assemble.  Bulb which was included was a little too dim for my needs, but nice that it was included (will use elsewhere). The composite material that was used for the "brass" portion of the lamp kind of surprised me by its feel; however, once the lamp was put together and upright it gives a richer look to the room that I thought while assembling.  The lamp shade is nice and together looks just like I wanted.
