This is not a very well-made lamp. Where the base meets the neck there is not a clean line. The shade was a little bent upon arrival. Also, you can see through the shade where the interior braces meet the shade. They look like dirt spots on the outside of the shade. At this price point, small size, and mediocre quality, I am disappointed. The only reason I am keeping it is because it’s the right size and color for placement on a dresser.
