This is a very attractive lamp, but it is not good quality. The electrical wire came with a cloth tape cover which was torn a bit. I covered it with electrical tape. The plate that concealed the wiring was off center, so after I put in the screws, it didn't quite cover the wires. It was made of a flimsy metal like aluminum or tin. No directions for putting it together, just a small drawing. I kept it because I liked the looks and didn't feel like going to the trouble of taking it apart and packing it up.
