Really nice, sturdy, heavy lamp. You just twist the pieces together to get everything ready to plug up. Be very careful with the glass globes, they seem like a shatter waiting to happen, but other than that I don't think I'll have any problems out of this lamp. I unfortunately wasn't able to use my Hue Bulbs because the hole in the glass globe is kind of small, so I had to use a skinny decorative bulb instead.
