I ordered two of the Aldridge Buffet Lamps. They were very well packaged and certainly easy to assemble. One of the two was defective. It leans badly and appears distorted because the shade appears lopsided. A great dissapointment. We will see how this shakes out with the request to return it. There are two omore lamps that we are looking at, considerably more expensive. We will wait to see the outcome of this transaction. One minor complaint is that the shade had an oily feel to it and we were not sure how to correct this and there were no instructions to help. The lamp would be much better if there was a pull cord as opposed to the knob. It is difficult to reach and I can see an accident in the future trying if you aren't extremely careful when reacing into the shade to turn the switch. A small hand might not be as much of a problem as larger hands! I did think they were a little too much money for what they are. I rated the quality very low because of the defect.
