Elegant Design with an Incredibly Easy Assembly! Pros: Super fast 10-minute setup, bulb included, sturdy weighted base, excellent price for DIY potential. Cons: The gold finish is very bright and shiny, not an antique brass. Unboxing & Assembly Pro-Tip The lamp arrived quickly and was packaged very well. Assembly literally took me only 10 minutes while I was casually watching TV! Because the internal parts are pre-assembled, you don't even need the instructions—you just twist the metal pole pieces together. Assembly Tip: When you reach the final step, lay the lamp down flat on the floor. This makes it infinitely easier to pull the power cord through the base without tension. Material, Color, & Portability The base has a wonderful weight to it, making the lamp feel exceptionally sturdy and secure. However, it is still lightweight enough that I can easily carry it upstairs whenever I want to refresh a room's look. The iron construction feels durable, but buyers should note that the gold finish is a very bright, shiny gold. If your home features mostly muted antique brass, this will be noticeably brighter. Value & Verdict I love the sheer versatility of this traditional design. Because it comes with a lightbulb included, it is completely ready to go right out of the box. Given the affordable price point, it is also a low-risk piece if you want to use it for a creative DIY project to customize the finish. Highly recommend for anyone needing an easy style upgrade!

Easy to piece together and had nice heavy weight to it.

This lamp is the perfect blend of modern and traditional for our colonial 1940's home. Simple to put together- it took me 8 minutes. Fabulous purchase.
