The lamp was packaged really well. The seedy glass is lovely and the bottom felt piece comes off so you can tighten it with a little wrench that was included. When it’s all tightened up it’s very sturdy. The only negative was a sticker (second photo shows it with the sticker still there) stuck right on the front that was crooked and drove me crazy, but it peeled off easily after heating it up a bit with a hairdryer. )
