It was the perfect color... just like the picture. However, the first lamp arrived with a rusted base and no harp or finial. The second lamp arrived in better but certainly not perfect condition but still no harp or finial!! I'm keeping the lamp, will buy my own harp and finial but will not be shopping at Wayfair in the future. The lamp was listed as being worth much more than I paid but I can't imagine that it was worth the higher price. Too bad... some of the products look very nice.
