Omg! The photo of this lamp on the website does not do this lamp justice. It is so much prettier in person than in a picture. I was looking for a floor lamp that would show up good against my plum walls in my guest bedroom. When I opened the box and assembled the lamp and put the shade on, the light reflects off of the shade onto the wall and gives the room such a warm feeling, kinda like a chandelier from the ceiling! So glad I made this purchase !!
