This is a piece of art. Features that top the list: 1) The base of the lamp can be left on as a night light (beautiful) 2) Having 2 lights in the main part of the lamp actually creates light (vs some tiffany style lamps being more of a glow) 3) it is incredibly heavy (the delivery man had a hard time carrying it to the door. There was a review that talked about what a mess the styrofoam packing makes - correct. However, as they said, the mess is nothing compared to getting a quality lamp that was well protected in shipping. Probably is my BEST purchase of the year!
