I was super excited to get this lamp set for my bedroom nightstands, but was disappointed when they arrived to see that the lamp shade was unassembled!  I have never seen lamp shades I assembled before!  It wasn’t difficult to put them together but the concern is that the only thing holding them together is some sticky, glue like substance.  It just seems really low budget and I am not confident that the shades will last very long.  Otherwise I do like the design.
