I like the lamp base, but the shade is cheap and also damaged.  The shade was delivered with several dents, so I returned it.  The vendor then sent me a second dented shade.  I do not want to go through the return process again (they will probably send me a third dented shade), and I like the base, so I now have to buy a shade separately.

If you buy this lamp, just realize you will probably have to go to the expense of buying a separate shade.
