This was wonderfully packed. the outside box was damaged but thwe box insided surrounded by packaging was brilliant. Ot took a little time to put together but worth it.I have to buy a bulb for it so will let you know .but so far it i a most beautiful lamp and really thrilled with it. I never ever have a failure with buying from Watfare. over the years they have furnished a great amount of my homes and always with extra specila things.
