This lamp is gorgeous - and easy to put together. It arrived in 2 days with free shipping and was packaged well. I love the foot control button that I can hide under my sofa. The only thing that bugs me about this lamp is that my linen shade came with 2 stains on it. It looks like water seepage, and it's kind of a light coffee stain appearance. For the price, the free shipping, and the fact that it's already in place and works - I'm going to overlook it for now and maybe replace the shade later.
