Completely obsessed. Didn’t think I’d be as thrilled with this lamp as I am, it’s just so whimsical! The shade it comes with is beautiful, it’s a non competing turquoiseteal with gold threads and it coordinates well with the other various shades of turquoisetealaquas without clashing. I love the tall silhouette and really elevates this sitting area! It’s not metal, which is why it doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. It has a nice felt bottom so no worries regarding scratching the surface it’s on. I can’t speak for the longevity of it, but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed when you open the box! (Velvet curtains I purchased from Wayfair back in November and still love them as well) wall is “Lunar Tide” in Behrpaint.
