These are beautiful .I find the soldering to be excellent for a lamp this price .Others ive seen looked very flimsy and im certain the weight would end up causing detachment from the shade eventually .I love the bird design finding it to be tasteful and beautifully coloured at the same time .is easy to assemble and it has a very sturdy feel to it not easy to be pulled over .This is often a risk with glass lamps especially leaded ones as the weight of the shade can cause unsteadiness if the stand is too light .I love the price point as well ,i think it is the right price for a well presented piece .I bought two to sit on either side of my sofa on the side tables i have there .Everyone admires them and they are one of my favourite things in my home .They arrived very well packed and im glad i chose this item .I love tiffany style lamps and it is very easy for the colorway to look a little cheap but that is not a problem with these lights .I would 100 advise potential buyers to go ahead and get a beautiful lamp with no problems ive found for a great price.also the switch being located on the power lead is a generous length and it is a sturdy switch not easily broken. these lamps are a great buy .
