Great lamp for the price!  The color in the shade is way more vibrant than I'd hoped for, figuring it wouldn't be as nice as the picture.  It's better than the picture!  And the shade is better quality than I had hoped as well, not thin and brittle by any means. The piece goes together easy and is rock solid once put together.  This one is sitting on my entertainment center to one end and I've already ordered a second one to go on my end table!
