I love this for my living room. Just as expected with a minor suggestion. It’s modern looking. The gold is a perfect brushed color and not yellow gold like a lot of “brushed gold” advertised. Super easy to put together. I wished the white shade had a protective wrap when putting it together as it got dirty from the get go and now I have a visible mark on it I can’t get clean. The only reason for 4 stars is I wish there were a couple optional choices for lamp shade color. This is a very bright cool white and contrasts a bit too stark for my warm white walls, sofa and floors. A linen or flax color would be nice. Otherwise, love it. I’ll have to shop for a different shade.
