Relatively easy to assemble (15-20 mins or so, and that is only because it was packaged so well).  The color is not exactly what I thought it was going to be, but I like it a lot.  The color is like a very dark reddish-brown.  It's very cool-looking.  Style is nice, fits perfectly where I wanted it to go!  The only negative I can think of is that it didn't accept a 3-way bulb, but that was not a big deal.

Pros: Looks nice: both color and finish
Cons: Didn't accept a 3-way bulb
