It was actually kind of fun putting it together but this is definitely a time to read the instructions through a few times before you start. It was translated admirably but definitely not by a native English speaker. Anyway, it’s put together and already accumulating stuff. It looks great and has a very small footprint for the tight space between the bed and the chair. It came with its own standard type LED bulb, a nice surprise. Also, if you do as I did  ... ahem ... intentionally flip the lamp frame up instead of down, you’ll get a little extra shelf space!
