Better than expected! Arrived very quickly (just 3 days), great quality, exactly as described and pictured. It was packaged very well and protected so no damage during transit. It has a nice fabric wrapped cord, but it’s bright white and really shows up more than I like but I’ll overlook that. The lamp base is a soft white color and the shade is bright white. Wish the shade were soft white and not such a stark white color, but I’ll live with it (or maybe get a softer color bulb). Love the style of the lamp. And sale price was reasonable. Pleased so far, I would buy again.
