A very small box arrived and I was so confused where my 2 large table lamps were. So for the rest of you, this lamp arrives in smaller parts which you have to screw together. And your lampshade arrives in a ROLL! You roll the metal rings onto the fabric which has Velcro on the edges. It’s all very strange. I have to admit, they do look nice once they’re assembled, but I was very uncertain if I would return them until the end.
