With any "via mail" purchase of an item that is partially made of glass there is a chance of it arriving broken. However, when my first one did,it was an opportunity to see how well Amazon/Target/UPS were on customer service. It all went very smoothly and my second one arrived in good condition and very quickly (withing a day or two of reporting the first came damaged). UPS picked up the broken one I was returning from my front door with no problems and no charge. Amazon did all the arranging of that so I didn't have to bother with it. As for the lamp itself, I am very pleased with the glass is opaque which hides the bulb inside from all angles except the top and my only wish is that there was some type of cover for the top so that I wouldn't have to worry about dust settling inside it around the bulb/socket. I love the 3 brightness settings and the touch on and off and brightness level base is So nice and easy to use especially in the dark. It was slightly larger than I imagined standing 10" tall and approximately 5-5 1/2" across the dia of the top with the base another 1/2 to 1" larger than that. Style wise it is a good mix of classy and simple at the same time. I bought mine for a bedside lamp and I'm loving it... Especially for the price, it is a wonderful purchase. Thinking of buying another.

I had a similar lamp before which gave out. This one looks just about the same but is somewhat bigger and also more expensive. It fits the bill, though.

I love this lamp. The touch sensor is so convenient. It gives a room the perfect ambience. Two downsides: A previous customer was right about the energy efficient light bulbs not working too well with this lamp. Also, both of my lamps have large cracks (as if it had been dropped on wood or tiled floor) in the actual "crackle glass" shade. Obviously the crackle glass is part of the lamp, but the large noticeable crack is not. It hasn't affected the quality of the lamps, but it is a slight annoyance.

I had this lamp for about 5 years and love it. However, there is one big problem. The lamp doesn't work well with energy bulbs. The type of bulbs that last for a couple years and use less energy. When used with this type of bulb the lamp makes a high pitched sound that is annoying. I have another touch floor lamp that does the same thing. So I think it is just how touch lamp work that make them not so good with energy bulbs. If you don't mind using standard bulbs this lamp is great.

I bought this lamp at Home Depot and after using it a couple of days the "turn off" feature stopped working (it is supposed to turn on/off by touching the metal base). The only way to turn it on or off now is with a wall switch. Beware!
