I sent this lamp to my sister who lives in a different state than I do. She gave it to our mom for an early Christmas present. I did not see the lamp and my sister did not open the package. My sister told me recently that our mom said the lampshade arrived damaged. My mom cannot take a photo of the lamp; if I could take a photo, I would but our mom is in Assisted Living and cannot have visitors to her room. She said the lamp is OK so she's apparently turned the damaged part of the shade to the back where it won't be seen. Needless to say, we're disappointed that a gift to our mom was damaged.
