I purchased the lamp in white. It looks great on my home office desk. I needed something taller and narrow. I would have given it five stars but the lamp shade is cheaply made. It is fabric over a cardboard like material...almost like a disposable coffee cup. That wouldn’t bother me as far as appearance goes,but the packaging was not good and in shipment that cardboard got punctured in several places. When the light is on it is very visible.  I like the base enough that I will keep the lamp but will probably replace the shade at some point. Right now I just have the side with the holes turned to the wall where they aren’t visible. LOL
