Great lamp.  Looks just like the picture (i ordered the black base).  At first I just ordered one because I didn't want to go though the hassle of returning two if I didn't like one.  When i received my second lamp, I noticed that the lamps were actually different heights.  My second lamp is almost 2inches shorter than the first.  Big disappointment..  buyer beware!!

Overall great lamp...if you're buying more than one, caution.
