SHIPPING: First the shipping was fast. Order was placed 7/21/2016 and it arrived 7/29/16. Problem was it showed up with a damaged lamp shade. Great Offer Stock promptly replaced so no problem
ASSEMBLY: Just required installing the shade, no problem.
QUALITY: The quality is very good. Most Uttermost products are of average to high quality. The glass base is heavy, the shade has an aluminum backing to help hold perfect shape - just don't dent it and inspect after shipping.
APPEARANCE: The appearance excellent. This is a very tall elegant lamp that holds it own in a room. Goes well with modern or contemporary.
