Easy to assemble, very attractive. There was an extra piece in the package that doesnt appear in the assembly diagram, and Im not sure what its for. The only downside to this lamp is that the base is asymmetrical, and will tip over if you point the swing arms in the wrong directions. the wingspan of the whole lamp is bigger than I anticipated, and it overwhelms the small corner I wanted to put it in, but it works nicely in a different room, so Im happy to keep it. I plan on ordering another one in the future.
