This lamp is great. However, it is probably smaller than what you expect it to be. Although it is 17 inches tall as advertised, it seems 17 inches is much smaller than I had thought. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something to keep in mind.
It can take up to a 60 watt bulb, that's what I have in it now. Puts out quite a bit of like for such a small lamp.
You have to assembly it. You bolt the shaft to the base which is the longest part of the assembly and can take quite a few minutes because you have to turn the bolt many times with short strokes. The rest of the assembly is pretty smooth. You attach two pieces which act as a frame for the shade and then put the shade on. The shade is definitely made of paper. So I'm hoping they're not allowed to sell something that can catch fire easily.
The pull chain that turns that lamp on/off takes a little more force than your standard pull chain. Which is a little problematic because the lamp is so small and is extremely light. I use to have to hold the lamp down when I pulled the chain. But now I use a remote power socket so I turn it on/off that way.
Great lamp though.

It lights really well. I love the look of the lamp, but it was a pain to put together. This is according to my husband. You have to really pull it to turn it off.

This review is from: Best Good Simple Plain Modern Practical - 17" Yoko Japanese Paper Lantern Bedside Table Lamp - Beige

This lamp looks very nice... if you don't actually set it up the way it's supposed to be set up. Sadly, the paper lantern part is a bit small for the frame that's supposed to hold it; when I received my first one, it ripped just as I got it stretched to the correct length (the company sent me a new lantern free of charge).

With the second, I just let the paper lantern sit on the frame, and it's fine. A few creases are still visible from where it was folded, but those are fading with time. Other than a too-small lantern cover (or too-large frame), it's well-made, sturdy, and attractive.
