The color is not blue like I chose, its a gray color and the shade does not stay on correctly, also one lamp came without the harp to attach the shade and the top piece, luckly I happen to have kept harps and standard silver tops from other lamps that I had, so I was able to use that. I just happened to be looking for the shape and stype, so i decided to keep the lamp. I ordered 2 for my livingroom and felt it was still a neutral enough color to keep them. But im totally disappointed.
