The first bulb that was delivered did not work, which honestly is one of the dangers of shipping lightbulbs.  Once you knock that fragile filament out of place, there is not much you can do.  Wayfair sent me a replacement immediately and provided great customer service. 

As for the bulb itself, it is a great classic looking design with a squirrel cage style filament and gives off a very authentic light.  Its a lovely amount of light for a more casual space like a bedroom or family room.  A little more yellowy than anticipated but honestly it works so well with my space.
