The lamp is very functional HOWEVER I am very disappointed with the purchase. I ordered a white lamp and got a black one.  The box was damaged.  Beat all to pieces. A few small dents on the pole. Would have sent back, but was given no directions whatsoever as to how to return an item. The lamp is very very heavy so I figured it would be very costly to return it. So Ive just kept it. I guess I can paint it. I can honestly say I will  NEVER order from this place again!!!
