Easy to assemble.... Bought 2 of these,there are subtle differences between the pair. Shades are slightly different, one inch difference in height,colors are slightly dissimilar between the pair..... If you are a fussy person it would probably drive you crazy..... Both are beautiful and unique.... We love them the way they are. Its going to be our running joke to see if others notice the differences. The shade of teal matches the paint in our room to a T :)
