Ordered what I thought would be an awesome lamp for the side of my couch and then when it arrived the piping was a rough solid black finish so almost didn't look like pipe. No bulbs were included but not sure if those were supposed to be. The shades however were supposed to be included per the specifications and no shades were included when I opened everything. Very short lamp. Overall wouldn't recommend for the price looked very dorm room. Sturdy but that's all I have for positives here.
