I am over all happy with the lamp. yes it does take some time to put together and it is just the look I wanted. My biggest disappointment is it is not as pictured. It was missing several of the glass ropes that hang below the shade. I did email Wayfair and they sent me 2 of them. If you look at this lamp in any other site it is not picture with them hanging like it is in Wayfair. My thought is them embellished their photo. So if you want to see how it will really look check Amazon website.
