WARNING: This lamp pictures well! The picture makes this lamp look GLAMOROUS! Don't be fooled, it isn't...lol. The legs appear longer and the shade seems grandiose. Don't be fooled, it isn't...lol. 

The lamp is just o-k-a-y. Nothing spectacular or special. However, it is basic enough that you can add glam... such as attaching crystals. On the flip side, if your room is already busy, this simple, basic, and black shade lamp could assist with balance and transition! But even with a few hours, it is growing on me. Just don't expect it to look like the picture in the description...lol. 

I was surprised by the size of the shipping packing, much smaller than anticipated. The pictures of the box can give an idea of the actual sizing.
