Very simple to put together, and rather elegant. I've got a large bedroom with a wall switch at the door connected (so far as I've been able to tell) to nothing, which means walking across the room to turn on a light at night. I bought this to solve that problem as well as to provide some additional curio display surface, and it handles both requirements very neatly. (Although I'm considering replacing the perfectly fine included LED bulb with a smart bulb.)
