This lamp is as beautiful in person as it is in the picture.  It was packed very professionally, and was simple to put 
together.  My goal was to find a lamp to put on the table between my blue sofa and loveseat that would compliment
the furniture.  I had picked out a less expensive lamp, but this one was perfect, and every other lamp I looked at 
paled next to this one.  The glass is beautiful, and it is very narrow in design so it does not take up a lot of room on 
the end table.  If you are thinking of buying this lamp, you will be pleased, as I am with your purchase.
