This lamp was packed extremely well and arrived very quickly.  It's base is really nice looking and solid. The shade seems a little small for the base...but I am picky about things like that.  What I didn't like is that I cannot get the base and the lighting fixture to tighten up, so it feels a bit wobbly.

Pros: Great looking, substantial weight
Cons: Shade too small, base and bulb fixture hard to tighten
