This lamp is what I expected for the sale price. With very few pieces pieces, assembly is manageable for one person but much easier with an extra set of hands to make sure that things are aligned properly. The way this lamp needs to be assembled it would be easy to bend parts or make it crooked if you were not careful. 
The lamp is nice looking and the fit and finish is above average. It sits very sturdily on the floor and would need a good bump to knock it over. I recommend this lamp at a sale price, but not at full price.
