What can I say My lamp is beautiful! I am very pleased with the weight of the base,very heavy, the colorful, pieced glass shade, yes it is glass, the size is perfect for the table I set it on, and the amount of light it gives off, soft light when lit by itself and enough light to brighten it’s corner when another light is lit in the room. I received my lamp just three days after purchasing it and it came very securely packaged. Well done Wayfair! This is my second purchase from your company and I am very well pleased.
