The quality is okay but the shade is odd with red and blue threads all through it, looking like confetti.  Some are quite large and noticeable.  No matter what part you turn to the front, you see them.  I've never seen a shade like it and expected a solid color.  For the price the shade should not look so cheap.  I am only keeping it because I am too lazy to send it back and it's the perfect size. I'll probably end up spending more money on a new shade.
