The lamp is delivered in a pretty cardboard zerfleddertem who made already fear the worst. The lamp had but the transport survived intact. The processing quality of the base is very good and exactly as pictured. The cable I find much too short with 1.5m, but was given in than described. Slightly disappointed I am by the processing of the lampshade. He had minor scratches and dents. It seems to me here really was saved at all, even at the care in processing. The screen is covered with a slightly translucent material. So if in an indirect lighting is up or down, will be disappointed. Top of the screen raises through the drill on the inside rather ugly shadow. Since the lamp is ultimately in my study, I have turned a blind eye five. If that would be intended for the living room's, I would have returned it.
