I like the base fine enough, but I was disappointed that the ivory colored shade is actually beige. It came well packaged in foam so I had to destroy the foam just to get it out of the box or Id rather return it and find something else that has the color shade I wanted. The quality of the lamp itself is what I expected, but the description of the shade color and name of lamp needs to be updated. It does have a 3-way light. My reason for 1 star is the lamp shade not being ivory as stated in the description and the shade is poorly attached and looks torn where the shade attaches to the hardware.
