This lamp is beautiful to look at, but the quality is lacking. Pieces were cracked making it difficult to screw them firmly together. Pre-drilled holes were sometimes unfinished and didn't line up well. The plastic piece holding the shade in place cracked the first time something nudged up against it. Still debating on whether or not to keep it; if I do, it's only because it will go in a safe corner to be admired, as long as no one bumps into it!
