Nice lamp! Especially for the price. My only frustration was that the lamp came with the cord such that it had to be fed through the top and out the bottom in order to put the lamp together. It wasn't easy to do, but by gently pushing at the top and pulling at the base, I was able to get the cord all the way through. Then I had to screw on the top. (The piece where you put the light bulb.) The harp and shade assembly were definitely a beeze.
