Beautiful lamp when it is off. I wish I realized how see-through it was when turned on before purchasing. You don't get to see the beautiful colour of the shade. I'm not a fan that you can see the lightbulb when turned on (it is very see-through). It gives a nice ambiance to the living space but it is def not very bright (even with highest voltage). Is it worth the price? I personally dont think so. Its def worth it if it was 40-60 bucks cheaper
