So I love the style of this lamp.  It's solid, the cord is heavy duty (almost too heavy duty if that's possible). The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars vs 5 is because I ordered black.  I was expecting a solid black; however, the box says "blackened bronze."  Before I opened the box, I double checked my order here because I thought I might have been shipped the wrong color.  After confirming I didn't see anything called "blackened bronze" online, I opened the box. The lamp is black, but it definitely has bronze undertones.   The cord is also not black, it's brown.  A dark brown, but still brown.   Considering my space colors are grey, burgundy, and white, with black fixtures, the brown isn't ideal.  The lamp is beautiful though, so I'm keeping it and making it work.
