So far, I'm loving this lamp!  The three lights are individually controlled so I can have one or all three or two or any combo of the three on or off.  It was not that difficult to assemble.  Some brief instructions were on the outside of the box it was shipped in.  I put LED bulbs in and it lights up my living room.  I also like that the lights can be pointed forward or back.  This is a great lamp for the price.
