This lamp was very easy to put together. It was shipped fast and packaged well. I love the settings, there are pre programmed settings for reading working one the computer, resting etc. you can also manually adjust the light levels and warmth using the remote control. There is an on and off floor switch too. The shade part can be tilted up and down so this lamp can fit many locations and uses. Good quality item and it looks very nice. Happy with this lamp.
