The lamp is a beautiful piece; arrived in a carefully packaged box. It was smaller than I had imagined, I should have measured, but makes a great foyer or buffet lamp. Too short for a side table.

As mentioned in another review, the lampshade is pretty awful, but the base is nice. I ended up purchasing another lampshade, which of course adds to the overall price of this lamp for me. I couldn't quite find the right shape and size combination shade, so I ended up with a lampshade a little too big for the base, but since the lamp is in the guestroom, I don't care as much. I think if the lamp were in the living or family room, I would be a little bit more peeved at the look of the new lampshade with the base and would try harder to find the right shade.

I had read the reviews before making this purchase and one of them had me concerned regarding a comment about the quality of the lamp shade. However, I took a chance and the quality of the lamp shade as well as the rest of the lamp is outstanding! I have had several positive comments from friends.
I was pleasantly surprised; the lamp was more attractive than the representation on your website. It was an exceptional value as I had seen it for far more money. However, I was disappointed in that the lampshade had a stain of some sort and two of the seems seemed to be pulling. I would have considered purchasing another shade (still having received considerable quality for the cost), but the shade of copper matched my bedspread exactly. All in all, I am very satisfied (plus the base was an even more perfect match for a foo dog from China given to me as a child almost 60 years ago). I still would recommend the lamp.
