This lamp is such a great buy!  Please understand I'm using a price/value to this review.  I love the shape and the oiled rubbed  base.  The product comes in a box that made me think it would be very cheap.  I couldn't believe what came out together.  The shade is NOT white, nor off white.  It is beige.  I wasn't happy about that, but I'm very picky.  It may not be something I keep.  I'm using it to stage my home.  But, the style is great.
