I love the soft warm glow this mica shade creates.  Its just beautiful!  Our order was received promptly and it was packed very well.  We had to add in a thick piece of cardboard under the lamp to give something for the furniture protection pad to stick on to.  And the on/off switch is very lose without a way to tighten it in the base.  Even though the switch is lose, I love the lamp and plan of keeping it.  Just be aware that you may have to tinker with it.
