Overall great lamp. Definitely lighter in terms of weight than I thought it would be - but that is because the stone base isn't stone at all. Both lamps arrived with chips on the stone base (which were easily fixed). However both lamps shades had dents in them which is frustrating as they are very apparent in the gold lining. Overall I like the lamps. They give off good soft light and are the perfect size. I just wish they would have arrived undamaged.
