Thanks to Prime, the lamp arrived very quickly. After opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised that the lamp wasn`t wrapped in any plastic waste. Instead, it was wrapped in thicker, I assume recycled paper. And yet the lamp is fully intact... so it works without plastic. :)) It is the 2nd lamp from this company, different versions, as we have 2 large windows in the living room. There is now a lamp at each window and conjures up a pleasant light in the background every evening. Both lamps have been connected to Alexa and it works wonderfully. The workmanship is good and I have not noticed any unpleasant odors... we are completely satisfied with the lamps and can recommend them to others.
