All steps, except one, were easy to follow for assembly for someone like me with no practical skills. I called the company customer service line on the directions and the voicemail was full. I eventually figured it out.

When I turned on the lamp, I was disappointed that it did not light the room better - even accounting for the soft white bulb I was using.

I thought I had read all previous reviews pretty well, but didn't realize it cast the light of the copper dome across the room - a light filter, so to speak, and on taupe walls, the two clashed. So, it wasn't for me.
