Shipped timely, & packaged extremely well.  Was looking for a floor lamp with good weight & in oil rubbed bronze, and you get that with this lamp.  Love it,  goes great with simple craftsman style. Pull chains for on/off is on both sides which is a great feature if placed between chair & sofa.  As others have stated, I believed the shade would be more of a darker linen color, but received white.  White shade is well made & nice looking, but just not my color.
