Overall the lamp is fine. However, what appears as glass surrounding the bulbs is actually plastic. Also, assembly is a bit difficult when it comes making the 2 posts parallel to each other when attaching to the base. Each lamp has it's own switch - there's no master on/off switch for all the bulbs. Finally, the packaging is flimsy styrofoam which immediately escapes the box as you open it and makes a mess that's difficult to contain - I wish manufacturer would use something more ecologically friendly when it comes to securing the contents.
