When I received the lamp there was a small flaw which I didn't consider bad enough to return. I did write a review and the seller emailed me requesting that I remove my neutral review and give them a chance to make it right with not hassle on my part. I did as they requested and I received another lamp without having to return the first one.

I like my monkey lamp. It's a neat looking night light / accent lamp for what I paid.

However, the shade is NOT made of glass as advertised - It's plastic. The base also seems to be a high density synthetic product (alabasterite, kind of like the stuff aquarium deccorations are made from). But the only way you can tell this is by close inspection - it looks like a nice little glass and metal lamp to anyone who walks in the room.
