This is a good looking lamp. Super easy to put together, no instructions needed if you’ve ever put a lamp together before (but if you do need them, they come with). I like the foot pedal as well. I knocked a star off for a couple reasons 1. The clips on the lamp shade are plastic, and I think if you weren’t careful, these could easily snap off during assembly. 2. Though the lamp was packaged extremely well, there was some minor damage as pictured. None of the damage really stands out once assembled, unless you’re really looking for it, and it doesn’t affect the functionality at all.
