The lamp looks good and works well in the room. However, the shade arrived broken (2/3 of the struts that adjoin the shade to the center mount were broken). The outside boxes were intact, however, the inside box was upside down in the outer box, thus the heavy base was pressing down on the shade. The packing was insufficient as there was very little for packing peanuts/styrofoams,etc.  The styrofoam pieces were stuck all over the lamp and took about 15 minutes to clean them all off (the bricks had been broken so all the little bits were everywhere). This stuff is also no longer recommended due to it's environmental impact and the other available options. Anyways, we were able to fix it with tape/glue to avoid having to package this up and send it back, but it was pretty disappointing to have this arrive with such poor packaging and I'm glad the damage wasn't worse.
