This lamp was very well packed and arrived in perfect condition.  The shade and base are very nice quality.  The color blue just didn't match my décor .... has a hint of teal in it and I was going for more of a cobalt blue.  In any event, when I asked a friend over to get her opinion on the hue, she loved it and said she would buy it from me.  She now has it in her sunroom and is very happy!   

Pros: overally great quality
Cons: none, if this is shade of blue matches your decor
