So disappointed. The tripod base is just as described and I am really happy with it BUT I chose the beige shade, the most expensive option because in the picture it looked  really sophisticated.
In reality the shade cheapened the whole thing. 
The shade is so transparent; when the bulb is turned on it shows really clearly the white metal frame and the bulb and looks really ugly. I wish it was possible to return the shade because I definitely will not be using it
