I buy lots of stuff online, but usually don't bother leaving reviews. But I've had enough of this lamp, and right now was the last straw: the lamp was standing peacefully in the corner, and a "piece" of the plastic shade just broke and fell off. How a piece of plastic could break off and fall without any disturbance is beyond my comprehension.The lamp is extremely weak and unbalanced, the shades are so flimsy that they fall off if you as much as lift the lamp off the ground, and the cheap-plastic look is terrible.For $25 I would expect a very nice lamp, given that you can get much better matte-metallic ones at Target for $10.This manufacturer needs to be taken out of business ASAP!!
