We bought two of these lamps, and we think they look quite lovely in our living room. They're pretty easy to put together. The quality of the materials and instructions is good - for example, we had no problems with precut holes being drilled in the wrong place or missing materials. One thing we didn't realize is that they come with bulbs, which offer three-way lighting in cool and warm hues. All in all, a good purchase - I would recommend them.
