Great quality! Base is heavy but not to heavy, it's solid if that makes sense! The lamp shade when u buy the chrome base has a go,d accent going through the silver but not too much! Just enough to make it stand giving that etc little something! I watched it on my wish list & kept my eye out for sale and just recently they marked it down & I got it for almost 1/2 off! Score!!! Packaged securily! Beautiful lamps!
