The reason I gave it one less star is because one of the lamp shades had a small (threading?) mark on it. Even though the mark is not that noticeable, i expected it to arrive in perfect condition. To hide the small mark I just rotated the lamp shade and I was happy again. Beautiful shade of purple to go with the grey bed sheets I have. 

Pros: great value, provides bright lighting with just one lamp shade (i bought two)
Cons: small (threading) mark on one of the shades
