Was a little hesitant with the plastic shade but it was fine after I put it together ,I got the lamp in copper and put in a cool 60W LED bulb. Overall, a really good-looking lamp. Relatively easy install. The shade isnt THAT hard to install. I did it in a few minutes. Know that when it is turned on, you can see the bulb through the thin shade. It bothers me a little, but I think it’s fine . It doesnt bug my guests, they love it! But I absolutely LOVE the look when the lamp is off. Goes perfectly with my decor and holds strong.
