Love these lamps. Very easy to put together. Took me maybe 10min to put these two together. Now I just need to paint my walls lol! The lamps are very light and made out of metal. Only reason I deducted one star is that on one of the lamp shades has writing inside of it in between the plastic and fabric and there is no way I can take the writing off. So I put it facing the wall and hope no one notices.
