The base is nice and solid, it looks richer than some metal lamps, and it took about 3 minutes to assemble. There aren't any directions, which might have saved me another minute since I didn't figure out for a minute that you have to unscrew the bulb socket to fit the shade in . . . but this looks super cool with a bright orange mood bulb in it. 

Pros: Easy assembly, very solid, looks cool
Cons: No directions for assembly . . .
