I wanted to like this lamp because I have a small space and the shelves would have been useful.  It took about 45 minutes to assemble, only a bit confusing.  But at the end, as I was screwing the top shelf into place, it. became clear that the holes had not been drilled straight and the screws went in askew, shattering the fake wood. Wayfair customer service made it right for me in terms of the money but I can't in good conscience recommend the lamp
