Perfect!  There was no damage in shipping.  The color gray of the lampshade is very light and "blendable" with just about any decor.  It's difficult to find gold fixtures with gray lampshades.  Most of them are white.  The overall height of 58" is lower than the average floor lamp in my opinion but it still provides light in the room while being an excellent reading type light at the dark end of our sofa.  We are more than pleased with the purchase and the price was great!
