This lamp is amazing.  I love the fine detail of the flowers made from little shells.  I was worried about it arriving in good condition because I thought it would be fragile but it arrived in perfect condition. The base of the lamp was shipped in a big Styrofoam cube with the shape of the lamp cut out out inside. The shade was carefully supported over the base. I love walking into my living room and seeing this beautiful lamp on the end table in front of the window,
