I ordered the royal blue color and the color was true to what was pictured.  It arrived in only two days and was very well packed. The drum shade is high quality and is a textured off white. It's quite big, a little bulky even and a  little old fashioned, but a nice looking lamp. I gave it four stars because the ceramic blue base had some minor scratches that definitely did not happen during the shipping process and I think it's pricey for what it is. Overall, it is not a bad looking lamp, but not really the style I like. I wish it wasn't so bulky. A bulb is included which was nice.
