Picture on website does not do it justice. It is stunning. Looks way more expensive and I caught the sale! Easy to put together and well packaged. But beware! This is not a reading light. Gives off a soft ambient light reflecting the pattern of the beautiful shade. It highlights the corner in our downstairs family room. The on/off button is located on the floor which is a plus. Even our grandson can turn it off and on with a flick of his foot. Great buy!
