The lamp itself is cheap.  Cheap parts, flimsy plastic.  I can deal with that.  But the packaging:  total aggravation.  Packed in styrofoam that immediately disintegrates into tiny foam balls that stick to everything.  Impossible to unpack without spreading this crap everywhere.  So if you want to decorate your home or apartment with styrofoam that is virtually impossible to clean up, order this lamp immediately.
