This is a beautiful lamp shade, which added an updated look to my entire living room. I knew it would update the look of the lamp itself, but it really completed my newly updated decor. I only gave it 4 stars because when it arrived, it had been dented in transport and it left the sort of crease that is permanent. Fortunately, it was close enough to the seam of the shade that I could hide it facing the wall, but if that hadn't been the case it would have been very visible. Maybe the packaging could be a little more secure, as I did read other reviews saying that this had been an issue with some. The shade itself is beautiful.
