The lamp came in 2 parcels, the first via DHL, the second, more serious with Hermes. That was a bit irritating. All was well and securely packaged. The structure was indeed declared only figuratively, but was easy. The parts had only be plugged into each other and screwed. Better building goes to second, because the whole thing is still very bulky. Through the marble base, the lamp is fixed. In height it is well adjusted. The lampshade must first of all, before being secured to the foot, are slid over the rod. Later that goes not! Finish sees the lamp well. I use an energy lamp with 11 W. The light is cozy, bright and warm. For me, it illuminates the dining table. Recommended. The price is okay, the packaging costs seem unusually high me.
