Let me begin with the instructions. The instructions were very simple, I made them difficult. Since the cord is already in B1 you just have to screw them together. You can use common sense to put the rest of tgem together. MAKE sure to adjust the shelves so the pole is on the flat corners. The shade is in three parts but just snap the metal bases under the plastic snaps. Since you had to roll it together, I thought it would look very cheap. It does not, actually looks better than some of the shades I already have in the house.
The quality is average but it looks of a better quality.  It is not as lightweight as I thought it would be. I thought it would have a hard time standing correctly on carpet but it stands great! There is no wobbling.
