I dithered awhile, but I'm so happy I bought this lamp!  You can't beat the price, and it's exactly as pictured.  Not too big and bulky, and the dark metal matches the handles and trim on my weathered 'greigy' buffet and on an Art Deco Tiffany style chandelier in my dining room.  That chandelier is uplighting (something I normally avoid) and does not provide light level choices, and that's why I wanted a lamp for the buffet.  The lamp's shade is slightly beige and plain, but is a good size and has a nice texture that keeps it from appearing 'cheap.'  That being said, the lamp deserves a prettier shade to enhance it to perfection, imo.  I'm going to add some petite aqua trim over some natural burlap trim around the top and bottom, and that will have it matching my turquoise accent wall (others are taupe).  After pricing new shades and realizing that would cost far more than the lamp itself did, I think the 'self-trim' job will have this looking like an expensive, one-of-a-kind.
