Very easy to assemble. Came with 5 white shades and five colored ones. I decided to mix the colors and so easy to change out if you desire. Feels sturdy. Looks really modern. With one on/off switch, turn on 2, 3, or all 5 bulbs. Very satisfied.This lamp is perfect for my classroom. It casts a lovely glow, but make sure it’s in a safe place where kids won’t accidentally break it. We are enjoying it!Very sturdy and bright. Like that you can have 2, 3 or all five lights on at once.Easy to assemble, very sturdy! Love it!lamp for a bedroom. very prettytook about 5 minutes to put together.sturdy - nice heavy baselove the 3 position light switchvery brightwould buy it again (and may do so for other rooms)UPDATE: This is for the second lamp I bought! I have two of these now so the first review remains accurate and I'm reposting it here!: "I bought this to light my craft room because I do a lot of tiny detailed crafts in which I need to be well lit so I can really be able to see what I am doing. This lamp is great! They included two SETs of shades, one set being all white shades and the second set being of several vivid colors. I like that the amount of light can be adjusted by turning the knob. With every turn , it turns on more of the bulbs until they are all lit. One more turn after that and the whole lamp turns off. For my purposes, I'll probably prefer to have all five bulbs on at once. The amount of light this puts out is very ample. (I couldn't get a photo that's an accurate representation of how bright and nice this looks when lit up. I also apologize for the photos being sideways but it wouldn't allow me to flip them correctly after uploading and as of the writing of this review). The fun colors are still visible when the bulbs are lit but they just look a little more pastel than as they do when not lit up. If you need a lamp for a more formal settings, the white shades would give this a more sophisticated appearance. The brushed golden brass finish is very attractive as well. I was also pleased with how tall this lamp is. Great for lighting over a table or couch and the base bottom is sized to fit in small spaces. One caveat with that base however... If you have somewhat plush carpet this can tilt if you point all the lights in the same direction because the base is of a smaller diameter. No worries for me though because I found that if you point them in all different directions ( Kind of like the leaf fronds on a palm tree) it will stay more balanced. I'm so happy with this that I have immediately purchased another identical one for the other side of my craft table. I won't have to install an additional industrial strength fluorescent tube light in my ceiling now because two of these lamps will definitely do the job in cuter and less expensive way. YAY! :-D"I love how you can adjust them in any direction and the light they put out is perfect for reading, sewing or just seeing in general. My house is so dark in some rooms. My husband thinks it looks 60's. So cute. The extra choices with the white and colored shades is great. So easy for even me to assemble and I have not come close to knocking it over so pretty sturdy, especially for the price. Comes with the bulbs too. May buy another for my dance room. Love it! Only downside is that you can't change the brightness for each bulb and the switch is too high to reach, if sitting down. No remote so gotta get up to turn it on and off or change setting. If it had these 2 features, I would for sure get a 2nd. Only reason for my 4 stars.At first, I thought something was wrong with the cord, but my partner helped me finish setting up the lamp and it is GORGEOUS. Thank you for making such an affordable lamp and with 2 versus 5 lamp brightness. It makes a huge differences for fall lightning -- bringing the spring and summer back with its upbeat coloured shades and bright lighting. Arrived on time, with all parts, choice of white shades versus colour shades is appreciated. My daughter came home and acted like it was Christmas -- it seemed like a completely different living area, just from the lightning! Wow and thank you so much!!Outstanding quality! Highly recommend. Receive comments every time someone enters my home - an eye catcher for sure! If you're timid on on colors - just put the white shades on instead. Personally, I like the color shades as it give the room a bit of ambient lighting when only 2 lights are on.My tv room can be so dark, especially during the gloomy, cloudy winter days. I bought this lamp hoping for the best but not sure that it would work. I am very pleasantly surprised! It is so bright and the colours are so beautiful everyone admires it when they come to my home.In terms of assembly as long as you ensure the cord inside the tube gets fed through the tube (which makes sense), assembly will be very easy and take just a few minutes. One of the best things I’ve purchased in a long time!We love this lamp! The colored shades are so cheerful. They are what might be called soft bright colors. It gives a lot of light when you want it to, or the 2 light setting is often plenty. It has opened up a dark corner of our condo living room really nicely...and it still makes us feel 'smiley'. The lamp is taller and sturdier than most standing lamps in this price range. It is one our favourite purchases.
