When the small box arrived I couldn't believe 2 fairly large lamps were inside.
I thought I must have ordered smaller lamps than I had thought. However, there
ARE two large lamps in the tiny box. The lamp itself comes in three pieces. They are
all connected by the cord so it's just a matter of screwing them together not a big deal.
The excess cord is wrapped around itself and is difficult to get unwound.
What really surprised me was that the shade has to be assembled. It comes in four pieces and the metal is brass colored (I don't think the description mentioned thisI'd rather have brushed nickel).
I have never assembled a lamp shade before and was a little intimidated by the thought.
I looked over the instructions and figured it out and was able to get them together. Once completed the lamps are large and very nice looking. It took me probably close to an hour to assemble the two lamps and probably another 15 minutes to clean up the mess. The lamps are tightly packed in styrofoam and getting them out of the packing gets small pieces of styrofoam all over the place.Looks great, but they are a little wiggly, can't be tightened enough. Cleverly packed, easily assembled, but not as stable as I'd like.
