This is a lamp KIT. Everything has to be assembled and put together.  The worst part was the lamp shades rolled up like a rolling pin and stuffed in the box! After you unroll the shade you can secure the ends with velcro! Then self assemble the gold rims to hold the shade together.  This is not what I expected. The base looks nice... but Im going to buy my own lamp shades.  Save your money and buy these at home goods!
