These are very nice lamps. They were securely packed and easy to assemble. My only complaint is that the finial on top of the lamp which holds the shade in place is square, however it is threaded so that when tightened it is crooked - not lined up with the rectangular shade and base.  So you can either have your shade tightly secure and a crooked piece on top, or you can have your top square with the rest of the lamp, but the shade loose to move if anyone brushes against it.  Very frustrating!
