This lamp is so elegant and classy. I have the gold which makes quite a statement. The extension from the base is black that I hoped would be bronze or gold but it’s fine. The black marble base is very heavy to accommodate the weight of the lamp. I originally wanted to place the lamp at the back middle corner of my sectional sofa but the floor switch was too short to get to from the sofa so I had to choose another location. 
I do love this beautiful lamp. The shade is also like a gold mirror.
