I ordered this in brass for my daughters nursery and am still deciding whether to keep it or return it.  I do really like the actual structure/design of the lamp, but I expected it to come in a shiny brass/true gold color.  Instead it is more of a matte mustard-y color.  The other accents in her nursery are true gold/shiny brass so I'm leaning towards returning, except its so big and heavy and kind of a pain to disassemble and mail back.  Had I seen this color in person first I probably would not have purchased it.
