The lamp itself is what I expected and nice.  However it arrived very stained at the base. I did not notice immediately but as I put it together I noticed what initially appeared to be rust at the base which is very reflective, mirror like.  I used some cleaning spray and scrubbed for 20 minutes and got a good amount off, but there is still a bit I will need to clean when I have time. So disappointed in the shape that it arrived in. The packaging was fine and did not appear damaged, but something obviously leaked onto it.
