I was worried that this lamp might be too cheap to be good, but it turned out to be really decently made. Yes the  shades are plastic but they are by no means flimsy. The chrome finishing is really nice (not too shiny, which would make it look cheap). The whole lamp is heavier than I thought, very sturdy. And it comes assembled! So you can start to use it right away! Really recommended for people like me who don't have enough money for luxury furnitures but still looking for long-lasting products.
