I purchased 3 lamps for my dining room.  The lamps throw a sufficient amount of light.  They seem sturdy and I am glad that the lamp shade is glass rather than cheap plastic.  The lamps came packaged very well and were very easy to assemble.  However, the three prongs that come up to meet the lamp shade are not uniform.  Some are bent closer to the center and come nice and close to the lamp shade, while others are bent further away and leave a sizable gap between the prong and the lamp shade.
