We purchased a sectional and needed light in the corner. I shopped online for lamps that would squeeze behind the sectional, and came across this one. Read the other reviews and worried about 1) assembly and 2) the power switch being on the cord. I was able to assemble it myself, being cautious to lay it out and take it one step at a time. It would have been easier with two people, though it only took about 45 minutes total for me to do it alone. The power switch was far enough down the cord that I am able to rest it on the back of the sectional and easily reach it. That worked out fine though a switch on the pole or near the shade would be more convenient.

I love the look and function of this lamp, and my husband is a fan as well. 

Pros: Easily fits in a tight corner space. Good quality, fair cost.
Cons: Power switch on cord (floor).
