The size and quality of the lamp and shade is great. The shade is true to color but the lamp base is quite a bit off in color and design. The blue color comes down about 25-30 percent and the other color which looks like if brown in the oicture is actually a mustard gold. I saw another review of this lamp that mentioned that also. I will keep the lamps because I can work the gold into my decor but if you want the exact color and design be careful!
