Cheap material, the paint on the lamp is black, and it is chipped all over. Took pictures then went over them with black Sharpie. As I was going over them with the black Sharpie, it kept chipping so I had to be very careful not to do more damage. The packaging was smashed inside, and in general poorly packaged. You get what you pay for. As other people pointed out, the lamps are crooked, I bought two. But they look good! They were cheap and I don't feel like un-assembling and shipping back.
