I bought a lot of lamps for a recent house redecoration effort. Without doubt the Jonathan Y lamps were far superior to the others for the following reasons: 1) Design is stunning and to the moment; 2) expensive touches, including silk cords, beautiful lampshades; 3) thoughtful touches, like lightbulbs included; and 4) sturdy packaging. One of my lamps arrived in a crushed and damaged box, but the lampshade was untouched! I subsequently exchanged all my lamps with Jonathan Y brand collection.
