Great lamp that gives off a lot of light with a 100 watt bulb.  It is heavy with glass shades.  It was easy to put together with no issues.  The packaging issue referenced in 2015 reviews seems to have been resolved.  The packaging was standard Styrofoam with no exploding issues.  I love it.  My only slight reservation is the concern that the reading lamp shade seems too heavy for the gooseneck, but time will tell on that issue.
