Item is clearly not worth the price.  Although the base is a heavy marble so I don't worry about it tipping, the rest of the lamp is very flimsy.  The item came in 2 boxes.  The box with all of the components except the shade was completely torn in to two, with the styrofoam broken and falling out.  The metal base cover arrived dented and scratched.  The "neck" of the lamp where the light bulb is screwed in is crooked so the lamp shade doesn't sit level.  Would not recommend.  The only saving grace is that Joss and Main customer service was great.
