The item I received was opened and retaped. It looked like a return from another customer. It was partially assembled. The seller claims they open and inspect every package but that's hard to believe. Why would they partially assemble it.
Once the lamp was assembled, I discovered that you have to disassemble the lamp shade every time you need to change the light bulb. The seller confirmed that the lamp was indeed designed this way.
When I requested to return the lamp I was informed I would have to pay a 15% restocking fee plus a shipping fee of $11.73 each way. Even though this item was advertised with free shipping.
I paid $46.32 for this item and would only get a refund of $15.91.
Needless to say I won't be buying anything through this seller again.

The lamp itself is nice looking, and for the most part nice quality. It actually has three of those "swirls" at the base, which was a nice surprise. (There isn't a straight pole going straight down through the center, as it appears to in the picture.) But the glass shade sits right on top of the bulbs, so in order to change a bulb, you would have to disassemble the shade. I was able, through a long time of trial and error, to get it to sit barely above the bulbs, but I don't think that is how it is supposed to be.But my biggest beef is the fact that it took so long to arrive. I was notified that it shipped about a week after I ordered it, but a week later, when I checked on the status, it had not shipped when they said it did. I got it maybe three or four weeks after I ordered it, which was about a week after the outside timeframe. I would have appreciated some updates, and I definitely do not appreciate being lied to about the shipping. Also, it wasn't easy checking up on the status of shipping. I had to do it in a round about way, as their emails said you couldn't track it.
There was a small crack on the top of the shade, but I decided to overlook it, as the assembling top piece covered it.
