I bought this lamp to use on my desk and found it to be futuristic, fun and beautiful. What is not in the description is that it comes with four bulbs and four frosted cylinders -I suppose an extra of each just in case one breaks during shipping. It also has a built in dimmer switch that adjusts from very bright to low glowing light. The one drawback is that the assembly instructions are a bit confusing and you'll need to look at the actual photo of the lamp online to figure out the exact placement of the cylinders. It took me an hour to assemble what should have taken fifteen minutes at most. I finally placed the base so the cord is at 12 o'clock and assembled it correctly; the tallest cylinder is at 3, smallest cylinder at 7 and the medium at 10. This should make it easier for you and although my time investment was longer, the final results were well worth the time.

It took me two hours to assemble this lamp. The problem is that the instruction picture is not the same as the one on amazon. You really don't know which piece fits where. I ended up being very frustrated. Hopefully this reviews are read by the company so that they can improve their instructions and send us new and very clear one. The only good thing about the light is that it has dim control and it looks nice but it still doesn't look as nice as on the picture shown on amazon.Best Deals for LSH-Icicle TBL Icicle Contemporary Chrome Table Lamp
This is one great lamp. It's bright, stylish, and extremely sturdy. I felt assembly was actually pretty simple. The instructions weren't detailed, but they didn't really need to be. There simply aren't that many parts for it to be very complicated. My actual biggest complaint is the plastic used to cover the base. It inspires "nails on chalkboard" when you remove it and bits of it get stuck in the crevices. I can see myself pulling little bits off for days to come. That said, let's address the most common concern in reviews.ASSEMBLY - The lamp consists of the following parts:
1 Base
3 Metal tubings (small/medium/large)
4 Frosted glass tubings (3 used + 1 spare)
4 DontTouchMeOrIBurnout Bulbs (3 used + 1 spare)
That's it. Place the base so the power cord faces at 0°. Untie the the individual tube power cords. This can be tricky, they're tied fairly tight. Try to give them a little slack and push the ends through one at a time. I found it easier to attach the tubes from longest to shortest. The long tube screws in at 90°, medium at 225°, and small at 315°. After that pop the bulbs in and then slide the frosted tubings on top of those. Done. Whole assembly for two lamps took less than 1/2 an hour and would have been less if I hadn't tested doing the tubes from small to large.
Good luck. If you like the looks of this lamp don't be intimidated by the horror stories. It's a cinch.
Honest reviews on LSH-Icicle TBL Icicle Contemporary Chrome Table Lamp
The lamp was well packaged and the spare bulb and glass cylinder were nice in case of breakage. However this is actually the first hint of poor quality control. The tolerances of the angled bases is poor and the lamp posts interfere with each-other making assembly quite difficult. One of the bulb terminals had a stripped screw and had been crushed-in a little during manufacturing. The instructions are near useless as well. After about 20 minutes of trial and error I was able to get the lamp assembled based on a better picture found through Google. The lamp's final appearance is more than worth it's price but the actual quality is NOT there. Thankfully it only needs to be assembled once.****(HINT: To others trying to assemble: with the cord on your right, the longest cylinder should be in front, the middle length on your right, closest to the cord, and the shortest on your left on the far side away from the cord. You WILL need to push a little on each cylinder to get them assembled.)

This lamp is awesome looking--very visually attractive!However, like other buyers, I found the assembly instructions to be less than helpful. And when I did put it together, I found that the bulbs only work when they want to which I find super inconvenient. If I'm reading in bed, and the bulbs decide to go out, I'm left with nothing. There's a slight buzzing sound coming from my lamp, too.
Overall, I would probably not recommend this lamp.
