It's OK, good value for the price. Although the shade looks red in the photos, there is NO red, it is brown/amber in colour. Very well packaged. Tons of polystyrene involved! Unfortunately, the screw thread into the base is a bit wonky, and it took me about an hour to get the thing properly upright and vertical. The pole is in sections, not a single rod, but it does look OK when screwed together. All in all, I'm pretty pleased for the price.
