I love the look of the lamp, but the cord was not attached to the base when it arrived. Likewise, it was not easy to attach the lamp shade to the base. I basically relinquished the lamp to a friend who is an electrician who can fix anything. The lamp looks nice now, but only after he cut out the base and somehow reattached the cord and juryrigged the shade on the top of the lamp.i If you check other reviews, you will see I am not the first one with these issues. I expected more than I  got on this purchase from Wayfair.
