AT18020B IS MADE FROM AMERICAN STAINED GLASSES(AMAZON WEBSITE.... BETTER QUALITY ON AMAZON,BECAUSE AMAZON CUSTOMERS PREFFERED A BETTER QUALITY, EVENTHOUGH THEY LOOK ALIKE IN PICTURES...AND THE ONE ON MY WEBSITE IS MADE FROM CHINESE STAINED GLASS)
BAMAZON CHARGE US 15% ON TOTAL PURCHASE EVEN TOUGH THEY CHARGE US ALSO 15% ON SHIPPING+4% ON CREDIT CARD PURCHASE SO BASICALLY WE PAID AROUND 19% ON ANY SALE WE MAKE( YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT WITH AMAZON)
SELLER SELLING ELECTRONIC THEY CHARGE THEM AROUND 9% BUT FOR HOUSING (LIKE LAMPS ARE THE % I QUOTE YOU)
SO BASECALLY YOU GET A MUCH BETTER QUALITY LAMP AND STILL PAID EVEN LESS THEN WHAT I CHARGE ON MY WEBSITE...$142.5 PLUS $34.99 INCLUDING S/H
ON OUR WEBSTE THERE IS ONLY 2.5% CHARGE BY USING CREDIT CARD..."
This explanation makes no sense to me and leaves my question about price unanswered still.
Also, Amazon's advertistement says it is American stained glass, but there is nothing anywhere on the product, in the instruction/info sheet, or on the box that indicates WHERE it was made. The person who sent me the above-mentioned email says it was American made, but there is no proof.
Another drawback is that lightbulbs screw in to the sockets with some difficulty...
However, the shade is beautifully colored.

If I were to see this lamp in someone's home I would immediately presume they spent well over $500 for it, maybe close to a grand. And I've been shopping lamps for the last year or so, so my sensibilities are fairly well tuned at this point in time as to lamps and lamp prices.With all the bad news about Chinese products recently it might be easy to miss an upside: labor is still dirt cheap there, and so for labor-intensive products stuff from China should be considered. Well, this lamp is clearly a labor-intensive product. Someone spent a lot of time fitting these little pieces of glass together. And they did a very nice job of it.
Somehow, despite the dimensions being mentioned, I expected the lamp to be smaller. It is actually rather imposing. I have a fairly big desk and this lamp is almost too big for it. So, you might want to consider this for some place other than that little nook you were thinking of.
Quality: I'm floored. Very nice. Really, you'd think it was made in Japan. The underside of the lamp is nicely finished as well, with nice wing-nuts to open the bottom compartment for replacing the base's bulb. I should mention that when the lamp is fully illuminated it is almost hard to tell the base is lit. But it is a great feature that you can turn out the top two bulbs and just use the base as a nightlight.
The lamp throws a lot of nice white light out from the bottom of the shade, so it is indeed a great desk lamp, and not so much the "hippy lamp" lighting I get from my very red glass lamp I bought at the flea market. Still, because of all the color from the glass, you get a very warm and cheerful ambience.
I am apprehensively awaiting the arrival of my Karl Barry Studios lamp, for which I paid eight times more than this lamp. As you might imagine, based on my comments here, I wonder if the expensive lamp will match the bang for the buck of this lamp. I'm sure both lamps will have their own appeal, but I assure you that you can't go wrong on this one for the price. Getting this colorful thing has put me in a good mood for several days and I keep staring at it rather than doing my paperwork.

I could not believe how beautifully put together this lamp was when I opened the box. Colors are vibrant and I put in two florescent lights....it intensified the colors.I can hardly wait till the second arrives for the other end table. Fast delivery and an INCREDIBLE price. Thank you!
