The lamp is of a good quality and gives a subdued but effective light. 
It is  awkward to assemble and the instructions are nothing more than a basic diagram. The key is to lay the lamp out on the floor and screw the lower two tubes to the Switch assembly first, then locate the other ends into the base and secure with the two nuts. The uplight shade is meant to be secured with 3 retaining brackets each with a screw, 3 screws were proved but unfortunately only one bracket was supplied with my lamp! A further 2 brackets would be appreciated please.
