The lamp is striking to look at however, the base connection hardward does not tighten properly so that is why the lamp wobbles. I had a difficult time tightening it and plan to replace the hardward. The shade also had some lead missing on the top of the shade so you could see through the glass inside.. That section I turned toward the wall to hide it.The other thing is that the the maximum watt bulb you can use is 60 watt not 100. I suggest you change the specs reflecting that if a possibe customer wants the lamp for a bright corner.One last point. The base had finishing flaws. One--scratches that I filled in. Two: the finish coat on the base had major drips that dried and take away from the overall appearance of the lamp. Again, I can hide or lightly sand down the flaws but the lamp I received should have never passed inspection before it was shipped out.I am keeping the lamp because it is a lovely piece but no matter what the price, a new item just purchased should be free of such defects.
