i just received this floor lamp. it came packaged beautifully and securely. I was very impressed. there was no damage or missing parts to report. the lamp is breathtaking. it's exquisite. I am very happy that I made to the choice to purchase it. it's exactly the way it looks on the computer and as described. It gives out tremendous lighting. I highly recommend it to everyone. it's worth every penny spent. the shade color is brown color. the shade is pretty big. so you have a small space try to find a larger space to accomendate it. I love it!!!!!!!! I have received beautiful compliments. it's beautiful  to look at. thank you wayfair. It does come with many crystal beads i subtracted a few of them away. So, it didn't look too much. The tall pole is a copper tone. The best thing i bought for my bedroom.
