This lamp is a beauty. My living room is midcentury modern and I really wanted a fun and funky lamp to set it off. This lamp fit the bill perfectly. Its a beautiful shade of blue. It seems like the color is on the inside of the lamp instead of glazed on the outside but it gives it a cool effect in my opinion. I noticed some reviews mentioned the lamp shade sitting crooked. I just pushed and pulled a bit to get it straight with very little effort. Its lightweight. I looked at several much more expensive lamps and this one gave me the look for less. Assembly was simple and took about 15 minutes, if that. Im very pleased with my purchase.
