I bought this for a condo share property in Cape Cod, and when I pulled it out of the box I was amazed at how expensive it looked.  The shade had a little tiny indent on one corner, but from what I've learned with shades is to simply press it out with an iron on low  - I knew this happened during shipping so I'm not going to blame. It also measures from base to top of finial so it's a little shorter than you would expect which came out better for me.   I'd recommend this for a living room, or as accent lamps in a hall,  but would not use in a bedroom as it is a little short.
