Good quality lamp for the price. Solid feel, colors true to the photo, bright white shade a little lower quality than the lamp base. Arrived on time, well-packed, in perfect condition. Comes with neck-saddle-socket part needing to be attached, which is easy to do (simply pull the cord tightly and carefully at the base to draw in the socket, then screw in the socket). As expected, the harp needs to be added to the saddle (squeeze the harp slightly to slip it into the saddle). Unscrew the finial (lower quality than the base) to add the shade. Comes with CFL bulb. Is a single on/off switch that can accommodate up to 100 watt incandescent bulb.

Bottom line: 4 stars due to the lower quality of the finial and shade, which are still adequate, just not the higher quality of the base. Base gets 5 stars for the value (price, quality, color saturation even and true to photo).
