The lamp needs very minor assembly which is easily done, you don't even need instructions (a good thing since I didn't get any). I wanted a floor lamp that did not have the round flat disk base that most floor lamps rest on because I'm sick of that look. So this one is at least different with its tripod legs and it is handy to move near a project needing extra light. The height of the lamp is adjustable, it's very versatile. I like that I can aim the beam at a wall to get indirect lighting in a room. But for the price, and I realize there are lamps out there costing waaaaaaaaay more than this one, but for around $75 I expected something better than what I got. I have a desk lamp that I bought many years ago at Walmart for about ten bucks and the quality far exceeds that of this floor lamp. It works and all that but it just has a sort of flimsy, cheap feel to it. The on/off knob feels flimsy as do the knobs that loosen and tighten to hold the shade at the desired angle. First try and the knobs won't turn enough, more force and you ge them loose, then to tighten you turn them, they feel tight, let go of the shade and it falls forward so more force on the cheap knobs and it stays put. If I had found this at Dollar General for ten dollars I'd be raving about it, even if I had paid $20 and I'd be happy. But no way is this lamp worth $75. Still, I'm keeping it. Update: I did discover that there was a bolt loose inside the shade and by tightening it the shade stays put better when I re-aim it.

This light burns hot. It does not have a stable base, so be sure to set it on a level surface. Of all the purchases we've made on Amazon we consider this our only mistake.

I purchased this lamp for my liitle boys room, who's theme is sports, and I thought it would look close to a baseball field light. He has a field painted on his wall and I wanted a light to shine on it. When I placed the order I didn't know if the quality would be good, I was really happy with the lamp and the good quality.

This lamp is OK. I really liked the styling of it - was looking for a bit of glam "Old Hollywood" - but the construction is a bit flimsy. It's also not really good at illuminating the room, it's more of a spotlight.
