The lamps came with easy-to-follow directions and assembly is easy. The lamps are attractive and fit in well with my decor.  It's PERFECT for what I wanted. Be aware that the color is not a gray gray. Depending on the lighting etc. it has a greenish or brownish cast to it. Works for me but might not for someone else. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the lamp harp and the finial did not line up correctly causing the shade to be crooked. I was able to bend it enough to fix the problem but I should not have had to do that. Shoddy workmanship.
