Let me start out by saying I'm giving it 3 stars because of a few things, starting with the box it was in. 1. The box was gouged and torn on the on the side, the entire box did not feel sturdy, leaving me wary about the product. The box it was shipped in was fantastic with plenty of bubble wrap.
2. The socket for the light bulb was broken in 2 places, one where the bulb screws in and the other was along the bottom rim to keep the whole thing from going into the lamp. Neither affect the lamp and don't show.
3. The on/off switch is wonky. Any little movement of the cord and the light goes off, as if there's a loose connection in the switch, a small piece of tape fixed that since I don't plan of shutting it off.
Now, the lamp itself is very heavy, it's more oval than egg shape, but I was wanting a smooth lamp so I'm okay with the shape. The glow it gives off is very nice, not too bright, not too dim. The description said it's 11 inches, mine is actually 8 inches, which now looking at it, I think 11 inches would be too tall.
I could, and should, return it because of the broken socket and wonky switch, but it's not worth it for me. Those parts don't show and the lamp itself works as it should.
