I have decorated my living room in cobalt blue.  Even though the base of this lamp is a little darker blue than actual cobalt, it coordinates very well, but would easily coordinate with a darker blue theme as well.  I love the linear shape of the base and shade.  However, it did arrive with one prong of the shade unattached.  I'm not sure how I can permanently repair it, but I have it located against a wall and the flaw is not apparent.  I did not attempt to contact Wayfair to complain about the problem as I am the only one to know of the defect. 

Pros: The base is sturdy and weighted enough to be stable.  The shade extends beyond the base to provide adequate reading light.
Cons: The shade had a prong that was unattached. and for that reason alone, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
