Lamp is lovely, and although I might have wished for a more sturdy socket and casing, it does the trick and looks good in the bedroom. Color is particularly attractive, a nice clear teal blue/green. BUT - beware of the packaging.  The styrofoam that the lamp is encased in crumbles easily into tiny pellets when box is opened and gets all over and sticks.  The vacuum doesn't pick it up, nor will the duster. I ingested the pellets, as did my cat.  I won't be buying from this manufacturer again until they change their packaging. Too bad. .
