This is a beautiful lamp; it has a gorgeous glow and the wood colour is lovely. Even without the lamp on, the colour is bold and lovely. However, the wood was scuffed at the top so that the stain had come off a bit with some splinters. And, one the screws was stuck into the decorative tabs so that we weren't able to fit it and had to source an alternative screw and now we don't have a cap to match the others; but, it's hidden by the lamp itself so it's not a huge problem.
