I ordered these lamps (2) for our family room.  They came well package and although the outside box was damaged the lamp and shade were in perfect condition.  They are the perfect height for an end table.  They are heavy and well made.  They look very similar to lamps I've seen that cost in the $200 -$400 range.  Don't forget to screw the harp/bulb end into the base.  I didn't notice it screwed in and the harp wiggled back and forth.  With closer inspection I saw the threads inside the base, now everything is sturdy.  The crackle finish adds to the beauty of the lamps.  I was happy to see that the lamp shade is a nice quality and I will not have to replace it as some have suggested.  happy I read the reviews and took a chance on these lamps.
