I just unpacked and put together this lamp and I am very pleased with its construction, materials, and ease of assembly.The lamp was packaged well for the long journey to my home in South Korea. The large drum shade was well protected for the trip, as were all lamp components. Assembly was super-easy and quick. In less than 5 minutes, I had this lamp fully assembled, plugged-in, and working.The grade and the strength of the stainless steel is excellent. Although a previous reviewer made comment that the legs looked "cheap" I found the legs to be of very high quality stainless, sturdy, and assembled flawlessly with the other lamp components. Hardly a "cheap" look or feel. The legs are substantial.The shade, too, was heavier than I expected. A black translucent shade, it filters the light just enough to produce a soft glow to the sides while projecting the light up and down for full illumination.What I also like about this lamp is the power cord runs through one of the legs and is virtually out of sight when fully assembled.Overall, a highly attractive contemporary lamp that is made out of quality materials and looks visually quite impressive. Fits beautifully in my mid-century modern living room. I love it!
