I purchased two of these lamps for the nightstands in my bedroom after one of our existing touch lamps broke. After a lengthy search, I decided to take a chance on these. Normally, I hesitate buying unreviewed products, but I really liked the pattern and the size was just right for the space.
I appreciated the free shipping offered by the seller, and the lamps arrived on time and seemed to be packed well---no complaints there. They were unassembled, but the instructions were simple enough. Unfortunately, as I unpacked the pieces, problems began to surface.
First, a light bulb was missing. Next, the spiral frame of one shade was so uneven that, when the entire lamp shade was assembled, one section was noticeably elevated. Then, I unpacked the etched petal inserts only to find a filthy-looking film on the inside of one. Granted, it didn't show through to the outside, but it was gross nonetheless, and it would not wash off. Last, but not least, one lamp base was marred by a handful of nicks.
By that point, I was pretty ticked off. After all, I had ordered two beautiful lamps and ended up with only one I could actually use, and that was after mixing and matching the pieces. So, back to the seller, the other one went. The third lamp I received has a few issues as well, but nothing so severe as to warrant another return.
On the upside, the seller---Lamps Plus---was very professional and accommodating with regard to my complaints. I would buy from them again. However, under no circumstances will I ever purchase another one of these particular lamps---they're beautiful, but the quality just isn't there.
