Arrived before said date which was great since I was sorely in need of a lamp.  The lamp was well packed and I have to say, I love this lamp. It's a great piece.   It is quite a tall lamp--but nonetheless, it looks fantastic in my living room.  My only complaint is the cord is a bit short for my needs but probably not an issue for everyone else.  This was my first order from wayfair and am very pleased.
