Just make sure you check everything when you get it. The shades are wrapped in plastic but mind still had a smudge that I was lucky to get out. The bottoms has felt so that it does not scratch surface, HOWEVER every thing sticks to including the specs of the packaging and since it is black felt white specs stand out. I was able to get it off.
IMPORTANT inctrustion say that in parts bag a PLASTIC WASHER is included to keep the shade on even, I could not find them anywhere and had to use my own. with out this little sucker it is very hard to tighten the shade and keep it on straight. The lamps are TALL so make sure you consider that with height of your nightstand and height of your bed, to make sure its the right balance for your taste.
