I purchased this lamp for behind a rather large scale arm chair.  The chair is a yellow-gold brocaid, the lampshade is described as red on the website, but is closer to cranberry red with muted gold swirls.  While the red color is slightly off the color scheme of the room, it still works well.  The lamp arrived quickly, was well packaged and in new condition.  The materials seem to be of good, sturdy quality.  I especially like the somewhat quirky, whimsical wrought iron swirls on the post.  Four stars only because I've had it for a short time.  I expect it to hold up well.
