Lamp itself is nice.  It isn't jet black, but rather black with a bronze hue to it. Looks good and sturdy and the glass top is nice.  The switch just fell off on the first one and I couldn't get it back on.  But Wayfair sent a replacement promptly with no issues and didn't even ask for the original back, so zero hassle.  You also do need to be very careful about screwing the pieces together - it can easily cross-thread.  It did to me and it was very tough to get it unstuck, but I finally did without any damage.  Overall, quite happy, especially with Wayfair's customer service.
