Beautiful lamp. it filled most of my wishes for the perfect lamp. The base is a unique design, the cream & green color is perfect and it has silver base and spider top. Unfortunately the shade is white when light is off, IMO this does not complement the base. The shade does appear more cream when light is on which looks perfect , but I would prefer to enjoy my light 24/7. I am now on a search for new shades which will add quite a bit of money to purchased price.
