I bought two. Great for end tables, decorative chests, anywhere! Elegant. Swirl beige glass and metal base. For the great price, they provide a great deal of light, depending on what bulb you choose, and look far more expensive than what I paid for them. I was really surprised at the degree of light I could obtain from just the right size lamp for my smaller surfaces. The bulb glows lovely within the glass shade -- very warm. Yet provides great light for my darker corners in both my living room and my kitchen. If you see them available, buy them. You'll be quite pleased.
