Lamp is very sturdy, and looks pretty good for this price range. Putting it together was a little challenging, but I was able to complete it by myself. 

2 months later, though, and the lamp shade (which you also assemble from flat pieces) is coming apart. The Velcro that holds it together has failed in a couple of different ways. I have it rigged to stay together right now with a couple of binder clips (see pic), and hope that holds. Finding a replacement shade with the hurricane frame (vs a spider frame) is proving difficult. Might have to try a super glue option eventually to see if that helps. 

Net/net: it looks pretty good, and functions well as an arc light. But the shade breakdown is disappointing. I wouldn't buy it again, if I had the option.
