This floor lamp arrived fast and was packed really well. I was amazed that I’ve got a bulb as well, so I could switch it on right away! Such a wonderful addition to my reading area. I am just in love with it. Remote control needs 2 triple A batteries, but it’s not a biggie) I was able to put it together in 5 min! No manual is really needed, but it’s nice that they gave you one anyway.
