The lamp fit beautifully on my open shelf.  I was, however, very disappointed to see an 2 inch long scratch on the base of the lamp.  I was able to draw over it with a black permanent marker, and buff it with a soft cloth to make it less noticeable.  I didn't want to go through the hassle of exchanging it, so I put up with it.  I would not order another lamp from Wayfair.  The person packing this lamp should have noticed that there was a scratch.
