I saw this lamp and it was love at 1st sight! I loved the ceramic base, the colors and the rounded rectagular shade. I owned it for two months before opening it, since I was preparing for a move. The shade is a bit wonky/stretched out at the back seam and the filial at the top needs adjusting, but I'm not sending it back. I may may seek a replacement shade though. The colors are true and it is a perfect end table and/or reading lamp. The styling leans toward modern, but I've paired it w/a vintage sofa and they get along just fine. It makes for a cozy blend visitors have told me.
