This is the most beautiful tiffany style lamp I have ever seen. The lamp arrived safe and snug as a bug in a rug. The carton was well insulated and heavy. The lamp itself is easy to put together and incredibly heavy at the base as well as throughout. The lampshade is well made and gorgeous. The only thing I would improve on is the little top that screws on to hold the lamp shade on and steady - it is plastic and I plan to replace it with a metal one soon. Surprisingly it does not match the quality of the rest of the lamp. Overall it is an investment piece and it "made" the room. We love it.
