This Light is so neat!  Very easy to assemble, it took maybe 15 minutes. The outer shell is a woven fabric, 
 that seems strong and kind of of stretchy. It has a marble look when lit, just white when Off. This lamp has a lot of different light features. from solid colors, to dancing colors, to a really nice bright white light. You can down load an app and control it from your phone or hook it up to music so it will dance with the beat. I like that it comes with a regular size remote that is clearly marked.
