I LOVE THIS LAMP! It is a perfect addition to my living room! The shade has a deep plum hue when the light is lit and the crystals add detail and class to the look of this lamp. The pictures don't do it justice. Easy assembly, less than 10 minutes. It has a push button on/off that is super convenient. I loved it so much I bought another one for the other side of my living room for the perfect balance. My living room makeover is going to be fabulous with these lamps!
