The lamp was well packaged. Easy to assemble and better than the picture. Perfect height between our chairs in the living room.

This lamp is metal, very sturdy, shipped in styrofoam, and the shade is shipped in a separate box. Assembly is simple: screw the upper and lower parts together, then install shade. The two boxes were delivered in two days.

It’s a beautiful lamp, and it’s very sturdy. The heavy base and substantial build keep it stable, unlike most of the frail and wobbly products generally available. I’m considering ordering another one, in spite of Wayfair’s expensive shipping options to Alaska.
