Very easy to assemble. I bought two and the light fills the livingroom. The legs are unfinished so I will be staining them. Not a problem. You can leave them as-is if you prefer. 
Note—this lamp is rated for up to 100 watt bulbs. So that’s an added feature. If you prefer 60  watt you can use that and it lights the room well. But I like the fact that I can use a higher wattage if I want.
