The lamp arrived in a timely manner, well-packaged, with all the necessary parts. Be aware that one of the parts is a small, clear plastic disk - the instructions don't indicate that it is clear plastic, and I thought it was missing at first. So be on the lookout for that, unless they've changed something. Also, the inside of the shade is white, not the same color as the rest of the lamp like it looks in the picture. I really appreciate that it cames with the Edison bulb, and you can see from the picture that it casts a wide, soft light - easy on the eyes, but still works well for reading. The lamp makes an interesting light fixture, but is not sturdily made, and instructions not great, or I'd have rated it much higher.
