The lamp is good quality, has few pieces to assemble and gorgeous when illuminated. There are 2 reasons I didn't give them 5 stars.  One is because of the size of the seam on the lamp shade, it's really wide so if it isn't placed against a wall that is something to consider.  The other issue is it is difficult to make the shade not look crooked once you've assembled it.  It took quite a bit of tinkering to get it just right, but fortunately doesn't have to be messed with to change the bulb so it's a one time drama! Over all I'm very pleased.
