This beauty ranks as one of the best purchases I've ever made online. It has exceeded my expectations by a longshot. I ordered the 16" wide in black with a gold fabric lining, hoping for a soft glow in the bedroom. Normally, black fabric lampshades look fine with the light off but, when the light is turned on, they illuminate with a deep reddish tone - something I definitely did not want. This shade glows a bronzy-gold and it's just perfect in my room. I am so glad I decided to go for it. It's pricey, yes, but it's a quality piece, beautifully made, and worth every penny. I recommend it highly.
