Love the lamp. Love the shade. It was all in one medium box and amazingly fast to put together. Its so good looking. The base and post are not flimsy!!! I really love it. It dresses up my art studio next to dillan futon. Also surprizingly great!!
I Put both together and set up the space in 15 minutes. It took that long just to vacuum! 
Wow! A nice addition to the room. Good light.
