Its a nice lamp, except for the following (1) it came in scratched (2) paint job on the lamp is not the best - can easily see paint drips (3) the lamp shades are of different colors (go figure!) (4) assembly was horrible and I have had enough of experience in this area - all of the furniture in my 3 bd. house has been assembled by me. Not sure that a cheaper price was worth the hassle. I am giving it a 2 star just because it serves its purpose just fine ( two glasses of wine did the trick and calmed my nerves).
