The lamp shade turns brown when lit. The light coming from the brown shade is very somber in the evening. The company has poorly represented its product. The product came with a card indicating multiple spelling errors, again poor and cheap presentation. The glass lamp has dirty finger prints inside it indicating the poor job the Chinese people did. Cheap job. The lamp shades were covered in glue trails from their glue guns indicating poor quality control. I'm unhappy with the lamp shades as the photos show WHITE NOT BROWN.
