Although I ordered the gold shade and the box said "gold," I actually received the copper one. I decided to put it together to see if the copper would work, and although it was fairly simple, the shade is quite fragile. Even with extra care, it bent and tore in one place while assembling. Guess it's mine to keep now. I bought this because it was fairly inexpensive compared to similar lamps, but the quality isn't even worth the $88.
