I ordered this lamp several days ago, and I received it pretty quickly. I had no problems with the package, but the contents were another matter. If you look at the picture for this lamp, you can see that the top portion has those screens, which are held in place by pieces of wood that are slotted on two sides, the idea being that when you assemble the lamp, you slide the screens into the slots. All well and good, however there were only THREE poles with slots in them! The fourth pole was the same size (the top poles are shorter than the three levels below the top); BUT, it had NO SLOTS in it! This made assembly impossible. So I contacted Amazon and before the end of the day, I had a return label so I could send back the order, AND, Amazon also placed a second order for me to get another lamp, which then arrived in just a couple of days. (amazing, for me)
Meanwhile in the day in between, I stopped at the local UPS store and shipped the prepaid package with the defective contents back.
So I opened the new box, and everything was going fine until I got to the last (lowest) shelf installation. This time, one of the poles did not have a set screw buried in the leg end, so there was no way to fully attach the last leg on both the top and bottom. For me, this isn't that horrible of a problem because I can go buy some wood putty, fill the empty slot, and after it drys, drill a new hole and screw in the last remaining screw.
Here is my advice to others: If you get a box with something defective in it, and choose to return it to Amazon for replacement, DO NOT SHIP the original order back until you received and verify that the second order is totally in working order. Amazon gives you 30 days to get that original box back. Make use of the time to guarantee you have one working product. In this case, I would have replaced the bad leg with a good leg from the first order. Better to ship back a box with two things wrong in it.
By the way, had not all this happened, I would have given this lamp a 5 star rating. I love how it looks. It has that Oriental touch to the design, and matches my beautiful hand made Oriental quilt on my bed, sewn by my lovely daughter who has her own fabric & sewing shop in Wolmelsdorf PA. As a part of her business, she also creates things like custom made quilts for her customers. She loves doing custom stitching for all sorts of projects.

Had to order new screens for the lamp shade. Waited an extra week, and parts were received with no issues. Overall I love the product fits my oriental theme. Easy to build. Soft, but bright enough lighting.
