I absolutely love this "Versanora" tripod floor lamp! It was easy to piece together and looks very high quality! The shade is translucent, which I personally think is cool, yet dims the brightness of the lightbulb. It's like sunglasses for the eyes, yet it still illuminates good lighting to the space. The color combination goes well in just about any space we put it in making it a versatile piece. I'm super happy with the product and highly recommend it!
