I'm really disappointed with the quality of the product (although maybe I should have expected it given the competitive price). The stand is fine, but the lampshade is very flimsy. The gold, metallic interior is actually just some kind of gold shiny cardboard, and has quite a few bumps and bashes. The material around the edges of the lampshade is lifting and uneven in places, which you can clearly see when the lamp is turned on. And bizarrely it smells of fish when lit?! We assume it is the melting glue and so keep trying to stick with it and hope the smell goes - however a week in, it still lingers! The icing on the cake is the fact that the bulb that was suggested as being complimentary to the lamp (which I therefore ordered) is the wrong fitting and is therefore unusable. Wouldn't recommend.
