The lamp arrived quickly. It had a chip in the base, but since we needed it to go behind our couch it didn't matter to us. Its a great lamp to prove light over a large sectional where we have no overhead lighting and no table to place a lamp. The shade could be prettier, but I will replace that. It works just fine so I can read or crochet in the middle of the sectional.  

Pros: lamp reaches far from base, fast shipping
Cons: base was chipped
