This is a pretty good value for your money and took me 5 minutes to put together with no tools involved, seems pretty sturdy and is bright enough to light up a small hallway but I wouldn't recommend it for trying to light up a room unless you're okay with your room being dim, my two complaints was the light switch itself gets stuck in the on position sometimes so you have to fiddle with it a little and my second complaint is that you cannot put your own bulb in, this lamp uses an LED bulb that is okay but I would prefer to put in my own, brighter bulb, but overall I'm happy with my purchase since I'm just using it to lighten up my front door hallway area.It's easy to assemble, it's not as bright as I expected it to be but does what I need it toShade came broken.sad, cause i was excited for this lamp!EDIT:I was able to get a refund and within 48h the new lamp arrived and the shade was fine.It does come with a bulb so dont waste time buying one.The Light is decent and just fine for our bedroomI did think this lamp was one that I could use my own lightbulbs in, but that’s my fault for not paying attention.Extra bedroom.Parts don't screw easily together and light is weak.You get what you pay for with this product.It serves the purpose
