I wouldn’t necessarily read too much into a lot of the other reviews. Not to negate or lessen others opinions, but all I know is my wife and I are super picky and love these lamps. They are perfect and very easy to assemble. We were hesitant initially when reading others reviews, but took a chance and so glad we did. Again, not belittling the other reviews, but we were delighted to receive our shipment a day earlier and without any issues at all. A+ for Wayfair!
