This is one of the most beautiful lamps I’ve ever seen and looks perfect in my living room. Assembly of the three legs was super easy. Assembly of the lamp shade took a bit longer. The shade comes as a flat sheet that needs to be wrapped around the two metal circle braces. You have to fit it just right into the grooves in order for it to lay correctly. After that you need to connect the Velcro ends together. took a bit of practice but I eventually got it! It’s very sturdy as well.
