This is a very beautiful lamp.  I read all the reviews stating how big it was and they weren't wrong!  Good thing I have a large living room as this could overwhelm a small room.  It was easy to assemble but definitely helped having 2 people do it.  It only took about 20 minutes to assemble but due to its size it's easier with 2 people.  There is a dimmer switch so you can go from bright to low light.  I'm very glad I purchased it and would recommend to anyone looking for a statement piece and good quality.  

Pros: Sturdy and easy to assemble, good looking and good quality.
Cons: Might be too large for a small room.
