The lamp is  easy to assemble , I like the lamp a lot , but If I ever meet the guy who designed the Styrofoam  packaging I will PUNCH HIM SQUARE IN THE NOSE. As I unpacked the nice lamp the foam packaging broke into hundreds or thousands of static clingy little tiny balls that cling to everything in the room. It took me longer to vacuum the extreme mess than to assemble the lamp . Please send the packaging guy to my house I'll wait for him.
