I just assembled our Hopson floor lamp today. Although I believe instructions are included, I did not need them to assemble the few pieces. The process is very simple. It comes with lightbulbs. I will likely trade out these regular, opaque LED lightbulbs for vintage–look, clear LED lightbulbs at some point. The lamp is attractive, and is providing some much-needed task lighting for us. Well, the height of the lamp is not adjustable, the arms swivel, and the lampshades pivot to provide a variety of positions. Very happy.
