Is the lamp a polished, smoother finish or does it have a crumbly/rough texture?

Neither. It is natural. It is not polished, shaped or artificial looking in any way. It is not crumbly at all. It looks like a natural stone or depending on size a small boulder. The color varies. The shape of each of mine are different as when they were mined. Because there is a hollow inside where the bulb is placed you get a beautiful glow coming through the salt stones different shades and colors and thickness. It really looks like a natural surface. When I run my hand over them nothing rubs or flakes off. I personally find one very attractive in a bedroom, living room, or Library. The picture just looks like a colored rock. Believe me the picture does not do them justice. I hope this was helpful to you. I was fortunate to have seen them in homes and knew exactly what they were and knew I wanted them.

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.

The lamp has a chrome finish and only has an amber tint when you screw in a low watt night light bulb 2 or 5 watt. It will stay chrome when you add a brighter bulb. not that pretty. The picture is decieving

Its a glossy (polished finish). Hansgrohe has well built fixtures. Am also using their Talis fixtures in our office.

Well when it first arrived, it is indeed smooth as I suppose the top layer is treated. With several usage and washing, there will be wear and tear, and it will not be as smooth as before and also depend on how it is being used. Wood being a natural material, there are grains and texture on it. It was not a big deal for me and I did not have to do anything to it.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know for sure. My lamp shade has a couple of marks that look like brush strokes from when the frame was painted. It's kind of a sloppy job. Unfortunately, it isn't the quality of workmanship I expected and weighing my options, I chose to live with it as opposed to getting an exchange. Maybe you could try furniture touch up pens /sticks?

My two lamps are posted out in the sun and rain...mostly 80+degree sun and they look like new...the rustic look/finishing helps keep it looking natural and not old or worn. They hold up really well and do not feel flimsy at all.

It is not polished or glossy. It is in fact brushed. Has a soft tone to it.

This lamp has a shine but is brushed brass. I love this handsome piece that is displayed in my living room. I get lots of compliments. It came very well packaged. I could not have picked a better lamp to display in my living room.

The material of this lamp is indeed bronze, and heavy-bottomed. We got this lamp in pieces, with the cord threaded through the bits. And then we screwed the pieces together, to include the base part, that went in for about an inch. It is very stable, and needed no special tools to do it, either.

The finish is definitely a polished chrome like. I have had this for over a year and am very pleased with it. No problems at all.

The light emitted is a softer tone. It shines plenty of light as I use it as my desk lamp and work most of the day with it on and the natural light from the window. It is NOT the hard floressent kind.

The base and post have an antique brass finish, but I can't say what exactly the metal itself is. The lampshade is made of glass. I'm really happy with this lamp. I hope you find it to be the perfect lamp for you, too.

the rubber cap was a smooth satin finish not glossy, no texture. whole light is glossy like a baked enamel.

It has a matte finish, so I would say a slight texture but not waxy smooth.

The lamp and shade are very nice. Sort of looks like linen when lit. It is not linen.
