Absolutely love the lamp all in all. The base is very study and very heavy. The lamp shade is also made very well. The gold color is rustic looking and not a crazy yellow gold. It’s sophisticated and classy. The only issue is the metal inserts are not very strong and we will be extra careful moving this lamp as we saw how fragile it is. The first lamp we ordered had a very small piece that was broken, so it couldn’t use it. But we liked it so much that we replaced it and got the second one delivered within three days.
