I was unsure of these lamps when I first ordered them, but now that I've seen them in person, I'm in love. They were very easy to assemble and even came with the recommended 3-stage bulbs, which saved me a trip to the store! 

The only downside for me was that the box was damaged during shipping and the styrofoam padding inside the box was completely obliterated. The packaging did it's job, but just the process of unpacking the lamps left little styrofoam pieces all over my living room (it's been three days and I'm still cleaning up!).
