This lamp is perfect. The bulb is large - giving it that perfect retro-modern look. I especially love the color. It’s not a shiny-cheap looking gold. It’s that perfect lux brushed-matt-gold. The real marble sand is also so beautiful and really states the high-end material and worth of this piece. I was impressed with the quality and how easy it was to assemble. It brings our living room together and sheds the perfect light above the couch for reading or for lighting the room depending on the setting. I highly recommended this lamp!
