I ordered two and the packages arrived almost as fast as I hit send for the online order, much much sooner than expected.  The lamps were in perfect condition, no sign of damage anywhere.  Be warned that the arm is a bit stiff, so it's a good idea to work it a little before putting the harp and shade in place.  You may need lock nuts to keep the shade from spinning out of control, as the round finial tends to loosen easily.  Make certain to keep the cord straightened as you pull it down into the upright section and base or that will also loosen.  The lamps are cute and have a cozy glow, and they give off more than enough bright light for reading.
