What a disappointment! The lamp's base was painted plastic. The cylinder was not centered on the base, the lamp was very light weight, which could easily be knocked over. I would expect to see this lamp for $40 at a discount store and then I would not buy it. Wayfair wanted $22 in shipping to return or you could pick a store credit. I returned it for store credit. I tracked the package and 6 days after it was signed for at Wayfair I still didn't have my credit. So I had to call them to request the credit. I have never had these issues with Amazon. I am now reluctant to buy from Wayfair.
