This is a very nice lamp for the price. It is heavy enough to not feel cheap and it does not look cheap either. It arrived well packed and undamaged. The only frustration was that the shade was not level and I fussed with it a while before loosening the screw-on thing at the top that holds it on so it would not be tightened in an un-level position and then I turned moved the shade around a bit until I chanced upon a position where is pretty much level. It looks great, Iove the 3 way and the shade is really nice...not yellowish, but a nice bone white. Very simple and modern and perfect for me. Great deal!
