I ordered this lamp because I wanted something sleek and interesting looking.  The reason I'm taking a star away is because while the shade is exactly what I wanted with the color, I feel as if it is a little too big in diameter.  Wish it could be a little bit smaller because I think it would look better, but the lamp is great in the corner of the living room (even if it had to come out a bit farther from the wall than I initially intended due to the large shade)
