You may think open box purchases are a deal with Lamps Plus... but think again. After their hefty mandatory shipping fees are added to the "less than pristine" product, you may as well purchase it new with free shipping. Or better yet, go to a merchant that always provides free shipping with $$$ purchases.
Tip for consumers: No free shipping on Open box purchases!
Products used: I ended up purchasing from another merchant who provides free shipping at lower cost for same product.
