Awful product. All of the metal pieces are of different color...some "brass" (cheap looking gold), some nickel, some white painted. The proportions of the item in person do not look the same as the photos. Also, the shade arrived bent despite no damage to the box. Finally, the sections that screw together do not even come close to aligning properly.  Extremely poor quality product for price. The $29.99 to return the product is more than I would have paid for the lamp in a store.
