This table lamp is exactly as described.  The base adds the texture I needed to the area where it sits on a dresser to accent a wall hanging.  It is simply beautiful.  The picture does show the lamp shade a little whiter than it actually is, but for my décor that was perfect.

Pros: Quality product, good look, description matched product, great value.
Cons: If you want the base and the lamp shade to match in "whiteness" you may need to purchase another lamp shade.
