Was very excited when I ordered it.  Was absolutely floored with it.  It was packed extremely well.  I think it could have been dropped from an airplane and nothing would have happened to it.  I have been looking a long time for just the right lamp to go with my decor.  I live in Florida and my home has lots of open beams and ledges where I have accumulated many statues of all the birds who make Florida home.  Needless to say I was extremely thrilled with the addition of this lamp.
