If I could have given 0 stars I would have. I understand that the color is a variable, but I selected this lamp for the touch of blue--there was no blue. But I am tired of ordering things from Wayfair and having something slightly wrong with it. I'm not returning it, I'm leaving it in place to remind me to avoid ordering from this site again. But, if you don't care about the lamp being true to its picture, it's a lamp and it will work.
