This is a great lamp for a really good price, considering how high-quality it is. I've had the lamp for about 2-3 weeks at this point, and there haven't been any problems. The box it arrived in was surprisingly small, and it was very easy to put together. Once put together, it looks like it came as one piece. I would definitely recommend this lamp, though I should note that, in my opinion, the included light bulb's temperature is more cool than warm (the bulb can be easily replaced, though).
