Wayfair just does not disappoint!  The lamp looks exactly like it does on the website, in fact, its base is a bit larger than I thought.  It is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted.  It was very well packaged also; it even came with a light bulb! Good quality, sturdy, and easy to put together. (The end table on the photo was also a Wayfair purchase in a separate transaction... what a pleasure.  I suspect there will be many more orders from me in the future).
