Item was nicely packaged and came right away. Directions were easy to understand and it was easy to put together. The only thing I noticed after putting together was where the wire hooks up to the back of the lamp. You would want to make sure that you know where you’re putting the lamp First in your room so that it does not show and is facing the wall. I also noticed that there is a seam on the lampshade which you would also want to make sure that you place properly so that the seam is not facing you. Other than that this was a great find and looks great in my new office.
