My boyfriend picked this lamp out for our living room and I was worried that it was one of those things that looks great online but disappointing when you receive it. Not the case! Once I put it all together I was very pleased with how pretty it is. And I put the whole thing together myself in about 20 minutes. The only reason it took that long is because I was confused by the instructions. Some of the steps are already done and it took me a little bit to figure that out, I was freaking out thinking that I was missing screws and bolts. Other than that it has exceeded my expectations and everyone that comes over comments on how beautiful it is.
