This lamp is well made and nicely finished. It comes assembled except for attaching the shade, which has a ring that friction-fits around the socket. This arrangement works okay but is not very sturdy, so I would not put this lamp where it can get jostled. Shade is a light tan fabric. Each of the two fluted columns is surmounted by a small brass or maybe brass-plated sphere. The spheres are good-looking details, but are hidden by the shade. Cord is quite long.
Contrary to the manufacturer's Product Description, this lamp has only one socket. Because the lamp is so diminutive--only about a foot high--a standard A19 light bulb looks large in it, though it does fit. So I personally prefer to use a smaller A15 "decorative" bulb instead. Maximum wattage as stated on the socket is 60.
The published description seems to imply--it does not state outright--that the lamp is manufactured in the "northern Vermont hills," thus making the product sound more attractive. In actuality, while the company is in Vermont, the lamp itself is made in China. This in my view does not downgrade the product, but could be helpful information for someone who is looking for a domestically manufactured lamp.
