I ordered this floor lamp to place behind a chair that I use for multiple reasons. It arrived in great condition with the exception of a very small  dirt smudge on the lamp shade. I easily removed the spot with a soft cloth slightly dampened. I was amazed at how easily I was able to assemble the item. The directions were clear and concise. The entire assembling process took at most 15 minutes. The light the lamp emits  is sufficient for my needs. I would highly recommend this product if it fits your style and purpose.
