This lamp looks very expensive for the price paid. I bought it for my nursery and it adds such an elegance to the room. I especially love that it has a foot button to turn it on and off. You do have to add some of the crystals, and it is a bit unclear as to how they go on, but you can be a little subjective with this. It didn't take too long to put together. Make sure you have a small wrench to take the top finial off in order to attach the shade. Overall, I love it!
