I love the look of this lamp, but was surprised by two things:  1.  The packaging was really messy.  The way in which it is packaged and then unpacked should not be done inside...it's a mess.  The foam packed around the lamp parts falls apart and there's junk all over the place.  Can't tell you how messy it was.  2.  The height of the lamps is not what I would have liked.  If you have large chairs like we do, the lamp will be almost at your head sitting (I'm 6ft).  I wished it was about 4-6 inches taller.
