Item arrived as pictured and described.  Very pleased with this lamp - bought it to go with a wood/rustic themed bedroom in our basement guest apartment.  I do think this lamp is a little overpriced, but it is fairly sturdy, the base is nice and heavy and the lamp shade is good quality.  Only slight issue is that the connection from the stem to the base is slightly loose, so the lamp is just a little wobbly.  I would recommend this product.
