I've already tried to post 3 different reviews, but somehow, there was a technical problem. This lamp is beautiful, elegant, and although small, it is quite heavy. I love this purchase and highly recommend this to anyone considering this item. Packing was excellent, and there really was no assembly...just put on shade and screw in bulb (yes bulb is included as well) You won't be sorry purchasing this "keeper"!!!! Thank you again, Wayfair.
