The lamps are beautiful.  They came packaged well and the shade was put together.  I had read some lamp reviews where you had to put the lamp shade together.  I would have given it 5 stars however, one of the finials was damaged just a little.  It is minor so I will touch it up with a Rub n Buff product.  I didn't want to send the entire lamp back just because of that.  The lamps are exactly as shown online.
