Looks ok from afar. Should have read the reviews. Looks nothing like the photos in terms of color, finish and quality. Looks black and as others pointed out like the white was painted on by a toddler. It is matte and not shiny as it appears in the photos. The top nob is black like the base and not silver as depicted. Also the shade came crushed on one side. Unfortunately for me my 6 year old, whom it was for, still loves it and doesn't want to return it.
