Disappointed. The lamps are packaged tightly with the shaft of the lamp inside the shade. When opening, there is no way to remove the contents without risking damaging the shade. Both my shades arrived dented. Both lamps were also crooked where the shaft of the lamp joins the base, so no way to fix. They stand at a noticeable angle, no matter how you adjust the shade. Attractive lamp if not for all the defects. I expect more at this price point.
