really better than expected for price
Nice looking, great fit for a corner versus lamps with round bases. There's a small pull chain for on-off. Shelves are sturdy enough for wandering cats. Shade with a 2700K bulk makes for warm lighting (use a 3000K bulb if you want it just a little whiter-brighter). But it's somewhat fiddly to assemble. The design isn't quite as good as a similar lamp I also bought from the local Big Box store, but the build quality is similar and this lamp is *much* cheaper. Notably, I think the shade part of this lamp is much better than the expensive Big Box version. Addressing other reviewers complaints: Assembly is actually easy, but you need a little bit of open space to work on it, and it takes about 30 mins longer than expected. It's not a super sturdy shelving unit, which is fine because it's a lamp, not a shelf. I treat the shelves as more of a design thing than a functional thing. Don't put anything breakable on them if the lamp is somewhere it could be bumped. And then my complaints: The cord clips provided aren't very elegant. The vertical pieces don't line up perfectly, but you'd have to look very closely to see that. The verticals can also get fiddled out of alignment if you have a bored child in the house or if you move the lamp around. Overall, if you're handy or don't mind a fiddly setup, the resulting lamp is quite decent, quite compact, and a good value. I'd buy it again. Read more
