This is a beautiful lamp. Bronze, to go with curtain rod and black frame pictures. Cord is long and clear. The glass rings like something fine, cuvralinear design, it looks like it has rain drops inside. The shade is is a marvelous modern shape, but classic, color is in natural beige like flax, to go with throw pillows, the room is white and Grey so shade warms it up a bit. It would compliment many casual styles and into any room. Size is substantial but takes minimal visual space. Sophisticated but casual. The people that took my order were gracious. It came in two days. The only problem, the packaging was really secure! Lol. Great experience all around.
