I bought two of these and am really happy with them. The assembly itself was easy enough, though the way they're packed into the box makes it a little unwieldy to get everything out and into position. Cord is pre-run and you just have to bolt the legs on and screw the tube sections all together. Comes with felt pads for the feet. The printed illustrations make it seem like the larger, bottom hoop for the shade should be the one with the inner circle for hanging, but just reverse the directions and it'll go together like the photos show (narrow on top).
