Overall the lamp is very beautiful. I was disappointed that the stone weight in the base broke, most likely during shipping. I had to take the felt off the bottom and glue the base back together. I also was frustrated that the styrofoam packing broken into a bunch of pieces and got stuck in the lamp and it was very difficult to get out. All together though, the lamp is really well built and seems to be very good quality. I would recommend it. I only wish it would be shipped a little better.
