I purchased two of these lamps and I really like the gradation of colors; and the color blend is perfect in the room in which they are being used.  Because of their substantial size, they make a definite statement that draws the eye in towards them.  These lamps have a retro feel, but also a traditional feel, making them the perfect accent pieces in my eclectic decor.  The price was fair and the packaging was most efficient.  Nothing arrived broken due to poor packaging.  Unfortunately one of the lamps had a poorly constructed finial which made it lean sideways once screwed onto the lamp.  Rather than sending a replacement finial, the company sent a whole new lamp.  I thought this was wasteful, but nevertheless I appreciate their willingness to make things right.
