The gold color is a bit off -- looks way nicer in photos, which was unexpected. Does the job and feels sturdy / good quality. Instructions were a bit difficult to follow. At first I thought they were missing screws, but some of the screws are already attached to the pieces as opposed being in a separate plastic bag, which was a bit confusing. A bit tricky to get the alignment right between the upper curvature and the base when putting the lamp together on your own. Would be much easier to achieve with two people.
