Honestly it took longer to get it out of the secure shipping box and padding than it did to assemble. Nice looking lamp and the adjustable small lamp is great to position in just the right spot on my desk. Cheaper lamps are out there, but these shades are GLASS and nice quality oil rubbed bronze finish. I can now leave my florescent office lights off and the torchiere lights both upward and the little one to focus on my desk. Perfect!

Pros: quality
Cons: none
