The style and price and shipping were great.  However, the middle piece did not screw completely into the bottom piece.  I think this is a manufacturing error, but frankly, not worth shipping back because this lamp isn't in a very visible space.  Everything about the lamp, including the shade and the clever way to attach the shade to the lamp, is great and good quality. But not the threads on the base and middle piece.  But the lamp is straight and stable, so peace. But I can't give a better review.  Sorry.
