I like the weight and size of the lamp. I was a little disappointed that it looked more green than blue on the base. If you look at it closely, it is painted with blue & green, giving it a dark turquoise color, which is what I was matching it to the rest of my decor: browns & turquoise/teal. But from a distance the green stands out more. It was listed as Color: Blue. I was happy that it arrived in 2 days, & packed very well.  There was a dark spot on the shade, but I'll work on getting that out, or turn it towards the wall. I got it when there was a sale going on, so decided to keep it.
