Decent lamp. Base is surprisingly heavy. Assembly was fine - had some issues with the cord twisting inside when I screwed the pole pieces together but with some patience I was able to get it corrected. The metal part of the shade inside is a gold/brass color and it came with some miscolored spots. It’s not something that can be seen where I have it positioned so I didn’t care, but for the price of the piece I expected a little better quality.
