The lamp is quite small but functions just as expected. It arrives in a compact box with the lampshade rolled up, so you should lay it flat for a while before assembling. The lampshade is on the smaller side; I should have double-checked the dimensions before purchasing, but it still looks nice. Assembly was straightforward. The shade has a thin Velcro strip to secure the ends and small clips to attach it to the top and bottom. To assemble, remove the screw base where the bulb fits, slide the bulb holder from the top through the wire piece with a hole, then reattach the screw base to fix it to the frame. Insert your bulb, hang it, and turn it on. I didn’t use the two plastic ceiling mounts because I already had a hook, so I’m unsure how those work. This light is extremely lightweight and replaced a larger glass fixture. It’s affordable and works well. ;)
