I bought this lamp on Wayfair "clearance" which the website told me meant that the lamp had been returned but that the lamp was inspected for quality and was ok. So I ordered it. The lamp was not ok; the base was attached off-center from the rest of the lamp. It was such a low price and returning it would've been a hassle, so I kept it. I figure a "new" lamp would be a fine purchase. The shape and size (it's very big-- be sure to measure your space) are perfect, and the color is just fantastic.
