I got this for my son to use in his apartment as he needed something a little more compact in size since there is not a lot of room.  This worked perfectly.  It went together very easily and was able to do it in 15 minutes.  For what it is, the quality of this lamp is better than I expected.  The tray top is a laminate but it is very realistic looking and you’d really have to look very close to know it’s not wood.  I am also impressed that it is very stable and there is no wobbling.  Of course this could change over time after use but for now it fits the bill.
