I'll report further on the resolution of a bent clip on the lampshade. I ordered the bronze frame version. The box it arrived in EXPLODED tiny Styrofoam bits all over my living room. Surprisingly, nothing appears to be dented, save a single clip, too bent to complete lampshade assembly. The plastic clips surrounding the fabric are a bit cheesy/cheap looking but it's going in a reading spot in my bedroom. The price was a plus, so I'll live with the cheap clips. The assembly was easy enough. Just tug on the extension cord at the bottom while threading the top piece.
