It was very easy to  assemble the Versanora Cara Tripod Floor Lamp, and well worth the effort after I saw the beauty of it.  When it is lite, you can actually see the bulb inside the gold shade.  It is really unique and the lamp looks very elegant and high end.  I love that it comes with a cord that lies on the carpeting with a switch that you step on to turn it on or off.  It's perfect when entering a dark room.  The tripod base is black metal and very sturdy, it also has a nice modern look to it.   I have received many compliments about it already and would highly recommend it.
