This lamp is absolutely stunning! I’ve received so many compliments on it. The base is made of marble stone and is very heavy and durable so that the lamp doesn’t tip over easily. The gold is more of a light bronze, very chic! The lampshade is more of a cream linen material but still provides plenty of light. The lamp comes with an LED bulb which was nice because I didn’t have to go out to buy my own. The lamp height is also adjustable which makes it versatile in any roomdecorative setting. Once the lamp comes back into stock, I definitely want to purchase a second one! The lamp is packaged in a square box (approx the size of the lamp shade) and it’s very simple to put together (even thought it comes with instructions).
