Just got the lamp today so will know more after using it awhile. VERY easy to assemble.  The base has a little weight to it; not a lot. Looks very nice.  The light it casts is nice. Doubt that it is a good reading light but that is not my goal with it. Shade is fine but I was erroneously expecting a diff fabric. Who knows I may like this one more.  Overall I think it is going to be good in my corner location by the sofa.  It is the most inexpensive among similar lamps but not sure it is worth more than $59.  Says that is a sale price but doesn't show the regular price, so....
