Wonderful lamp, I am sorry I didn't buy 2 or 3 while they were on sale. I live in an apartment that has very little light. No overhead lights and even with lamps in the room it was still dark. Since I bought this lamp the only setting I had it on after trying them all out is the dimmer setting and I have 5 times more light in my room. As far as putting it together I can't answer that. I asked a neighbor if he would put it together, in fact ran down to the store. When I got back which was in about 5 minutes it was put together. He said it took him 2 minutes to put together. If I had one small complaint the switch is flat and you have to push it in. I have Arthritis in my hands. While I playing around to see the different light settings, my thumb began to hurt. In fact by the 3rd time I thought it was broken. It wasn't just wasn't pushing hard enough. Just because of this if I could have would have given it 4 1/2 stars instead of 5, however I didn't think it deserved a 4 either. Also like the fact that neck of lamp can be turned. I read one review where someone said they knew it was 5 feet and wished it was a bit taller. I must say I agree, however with the neck being flexible you can push it up higher. I am over the moon about the light though that this gives off. I have it next to my computer and even with a desk lamp on it I could barely see anything. This is wonderful. I also like that it is I feel sturdy but not that heavy so I can move it to another room when I need more light. I got this on flash deal and have myself on list if it goes down in price, or about to go out of stock. But even at regular price I am happier with this floor lamp that I have paid more for. If you are looking for a floor lamp for decorating a room this lamp might not be the best choice. However if you looking for lamp that gives off great light this is a winner. One other thing I like about it is it doesn't seem to give off much heat which is nice because right now it's very hot where I live. If this goes back on sale I will get 1 or 2 more of them. One thing I have said in other reviews if you have never shopped at Great Offer Stock they have the best Customer Service Reps here. If something isn't right they will fix it with no hassle, I wish all places online had the CS that Great Offer Stock has.
