Fairly easy to put together - I had trouble with one of the legs (the legs come in two pieces for each leg that you have to screw together). One of the screws seemed to be coming out but once I fidgeted with it a bit it came into place. You can't really see the "seam" from the separate leg pieces once it is all screwed together but if you are a stickler for that type of thing this may not be the lamp for you
