The good news:  it IS an attractive floor lamp (though better seen from a distance).  I made the purchase of an 'Open Box' item based on the disclaimer that all had been carefully checked, and item was in great condition. When opening the box it was rather apparent that it was not a brand new item, with a few scuffs on the base and main poles, styrofoam dust in all the electrical parts, and no instructions/warranty info whatsoever . . . but I figured it out rather easily.  Perhaps the previous owners determined the On/Off switch was a rather dingus design. I use a smart plug, so not an issue.  The photos seemed to indicate a bit more frosted globe, but it is very clear and your choice of bulb will be clearly seen and part of the visual appeal. I got what I paid for, and learned a personal lesson as well . . . buy item New Only from Wayfair.
