The red version of the lamp really is a lovely, deep brick red. Although the packaging was sufficient, one of my two purchased lamps had a major defect. Unfortunately, Wayfair was not able to fix or replace it, but their Customer Service Department was absolutely outstanding and helpful. The top of the lamp is of a more gaudy gold-type finish and the base is a shiny brass, setbacks that can be overlooked. The drum-shade and base make a nice statement in a dark corner, even if it is just one of them.

Pros: lovely color, nice large lamp, great lighting, good value
Cons: so-so quality, accent at top of lamp is distracting
