This item is actually available at Bed Bath & Beyond for <$100...stylish, attractive and contemporary...my biggest gripe was the mode of packing, which was the difference between 4 and 5 star review in this case.The lamp is in 5-6 pieces which screw together pretty easily once unwrapped, all of which are secured to inner cardboard packing materials with enough packing tape to make a sadist jealous. The styrofoam breaks apart into atom sized particles, and sticks to EVERYTHING..so opening outside is highly recommended.
