The lamp itself is pretty good. It was the packaging that was the problem. The box I received was damaged and had clearly been opened before and retaped shut.  Nothing was looking new and in plastic and the whole lamp was dumped into shipping foam which was broken into all kinds of pieces. No assembly instructions were included and there was hair all over the tape on the lamp. There was also a bad smell when I opened the box. I felt like I was getting a second hand item, instead of a new product. The lamp works fine and I dont notice any defects with it. Im very disappointed with the condition in which this lamp was shipped.
