This lamp took a few minutes to unbox and 5 minutes to put together.  It is a good room light without being too bright.  I do wish it had a dimmer switch but all it has is a pull chain. Gotta be careful if you have sleeping babies cause when the pull chain hits the pole, it’s pretty loud. I’m going to need to wrap something small either around the pole or around the ball at the end of the chain.  This lamp is a little over 5 ft tall and is a bit wobbly on carpet but sits great on solid floors.
