I am very pleased with this lamp. It was very well packed and I received it quickly. I had it shipped to my work where I assembled it to make sure everything was there. It sat on my desk for several hours where it garnered a great number of compliments. 
After I got it home I really appreciated it. It was perfect for the place I am using it. I like table lamps and have looked at hundreds over the last 30 years. I appreciate the uniqueness and solid feel of this one. The shade was just the right size and shape as well.
