Well packed, arrived in great shape in a fairly small box.  Base has a nice thick woven cover cord.  The only assembly is turning the pre-wired socket/harp holder onto the base, and putting on the shades.  Simple, no tools.  The brushed brass parts are nice looking.  The proportions are excellent. Shades are good quality and cast a nice light true to the bulb temperature K.
My only observation, not complaint, is that the base material, which is like lightweight concrete cast in a mould, is a slightly different colour on each lamp, and there are some tiny moulding imperfections, but they are all (intentionally?) hidden on the back side.  Placing the pair on dressers on either side of a king bed, I can’t detect any apparent difference in colour.  You might notice if closer together on a credenza in good daylight, but you also might get a pair that match perfectly.  The nature of the material! They look amazing in my space.
