Base had small scratches I had to touch up. Shade has a huge seam on one side that is very apparent when lit. The fixture that holds the finial was glued on to the ceramic base slightly crooked and shade had a slight dip on one side. The colors are beautiful and just as pictured, but being a perfectionist, I had a few issues. Not sure I'll leave this where I'd planned because it can be viewed 360 degrees and that seam bugs me. Also, the packaging for this was a mess. The foam broke apart into little bubbles that took forever to clean up, and clung to the lamp.
