I really do love this lamp but the craftsmanship is sorely lacking. It appears there is glue smeared on all the "joints" of the lamp. I will have to paint over the glue or caulk or whatever it is. I should have gotten these lamps for 50% off since I have to fix them. I won't send them back because I CAN fix this mess. The lamps are perfect color and size for my needs but so very disappointed in the smeared mess on them.
