This lamp is so unique and beautiful, but also incredibly delicate (like, you could easily and accidentally poke your fingers right through the paper of the lamp). You have to be very careful to not break that paper, especially when setting the paper shade onto the base. Speaking of setting it up, I found the instructions to be absolutely useless and very unhelpful -- that being said, it's not difficult to figure out how to set this thing up; you just have a look at all the bits for a minute and your brain will figure it out rather quick. Super easy setup, and miniature tools are provided in the box to assist in the setup process. The bulb that came with the lamp will cycle through three different colours each off/on you do with the switch, but the colours are varying shades of blue/white light--which I didn't like; it made things look too sterile and white (like a hospital, ick). So, I bought a 40watt e26 base vintage amber coloured led bulb to replace it ... and having a warm toned light bulb truly makes this lamp shine! It also brings a lot of warmth to the room, as well as life. It's also a very calming lamp to look at when you sit and stare off into oblivion after a long and defeating workday. Now, I do think it's rather expensive for what you get ... but ask me if I regret this purchase? Not at all. I am in love with this lamp. The lamp is a piece of art, and I hope it will last me for many years to come. Definitely recommend ????
