Love these lamps. Got 2 in blue/gray base with gray shade. Very handsome, large, weighty and really prefer a base that's not resin. These are keepers! Statement lamps that balance out my king bed nicely.  First time with a shade this dark but still sufficient lighting. The blue/gray leans more to gray. Shade makes me think of denim. Harp seems like it should be heavier duty but not having any problem. Packaging was probably the best I have ever seen for mail order--very secure and well protected so arrived in perfect condition.
