Disappointing. I purchased the cream lamp enthusiastically as it fits a small space in my sitting room however in the flesh it disappoints. It’s sturdy, the shade looks good when off but the base looks cheap and the frame is visible under the shade when switched on. Quite nice ambient light but overall it looks cheap. Buying lighting based on photos is risky especially if the photos are unrealistic. In an ideal world I’d return it. Downside of the returns policy.
