The lamp came in one box and was securely packaged. The instructions were easy to follow and the lamp was assembled in less than 5 minutes. Be careful when taking the packaging out of the box because it will fall out unless you following the unpackaging instructions.  The lamp is well made and aesthetically appealing. The lamp has an industrial feel to it, but is able to go with almost any decor. Buy this lamp, you won't regret it!
