Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've only had it up for a few minutes, but so far so good. (1) Assembly: Pretty easy as far as furniture assembly goes. I assembled it myself without much trouble other than the shade (see below). (2) Cord: I purchased mine in Feb 2020 and got a brown cord. Some reviewers said they got a blue/white cord, but maybe that issue has been resolved. (3) Wood and overall unit feels sturdy, the color is even, and the wood is smooth. It'sprobably mdf put feels and looks nice for it. If it doesn't hold up to my toddler I will update. (4) I've seen in a few of the customer photos that the shades are assembled incorrectly. I got it wrong the first time, so I added a picture to help others with the shade assembly since I didn't find the instructions sufficient to assemble it properly. It *does* matter which direction the bottom rim is flipped (the part that fits around the light bulb socket). The best way I can describe it is for the metal arms of the bottom rim to be pointing downwards toward the floor. If you have it flipped the bottom of the socket will be exposed partially and look bad. The illustration shows this but it is such a slight detail that you can overlook it, and there is no written note to indicate which direction it should go.
