Lovely lamp although the cord is fairly short so could not place lamp where I wanted to. Also the fitting is plastic, a bit of mine was chipped but did not prevent the bulb being screwed in so all ok. Gives a nice glow when lit, I used a E27 LED golfball  warm white bulb. Shade lights up lovely gold colour. Item was well packages and arrived quickly. Over all very pleased. Lovely and unusual lamp for the price.
