It's beautiful. Someone had said in their review, the figure was plastic and looked cheap. Not true. I looked for a lamp like this for ages, and was initially attracted to this as the price was very good. The others like it were all bronze, this one, pale - almost ivory looking figure between the bronze. Well, I'm picky and this lamp is beautiful. Really georgeous. I used an amber bulb and the light is warm. Sometimes, I go into my bedroom just to look. Really happy with this purchase.
