I LOVED the look of this lamp online. So cute and the shade is just the right feminine touch in my eyes. However, once I received the item and plugged it in, I realized the shade was too short to cover a normal sized lightbulb and too thin to effective act as a normal lampshade. Had the shade been a little bit taller and a little bit thicker, this would have easily been a favorite purchase for me. However, due to those issues, I had to return.
