I love the light when it is turned off. It is beautiful. Unfortunately when it is turned on due to how the supports are placed inside of the lamp shade there are 3 large 
line shadows showing through the shade. It does not look nice when it is on- I have a lot of lamps throughout my house, and these two lamps are the only ones that have giant dark lines inside the shades from  the supports. No, the shade is not upside down, it is just poorly designed.
