Received the lamp rather quick which was great! I was very disappointed when I unwrapped the lamp and realized how short it is (was really my fault as I should have measured it before buying). Somehow in the pictures shown this lamp appears much taller than it is. Nonetheless, I love the retro look of it and the material and colour looks very high end.  Since the lamp is so short the bright light bulb inside is directly at eye level when you sit in a chair or sofa and is so bright it's blinding (it's 60W, had to order 40W today hopefully it will not be as painful on the eyes). Will keep it as returning it is such a hassle and costly, but wouldn't have bought it if I had seen it in a store due to the height of this lamp.
