Beautiful, well-made lamp. I was a little skeptical initially as I thought the picture featured online made the lamp look a little gold and the shade a bit on the gray side. However, was pleasantly surprised when I received it and saw that neither were the case. The bulb included is 3-way and light given off ranges from warm & rosy to nice & bright. It was packaged really well and was simple to put together. I love this lamp and wish I had a reason to buy more of them! Also, please note that the dangly cords that appear to be hanging from the lamp in my photos are actually the cords to my blinds behind the lamp - there's nothing dangling on the actual lamp. :)
