I really wanted to love this lamp more. The color is much more yellow gold than the pictures show. Kind of plastic looking as other reviews have indicated. 

The lampshade is very underwhelming. Cheap looking, plain white that does nothing for the lamp, and turns a weird yellow when the light is on. The yellow-gold pineapple could easily look more impressive with the right shade, and for the price it should definitely have a better shade.

Assembly was a bit tricky. I found it difficult to properly screw the light base into the pineapple base it kept unscrewing on its own. Im disappointed that I couldnt get the light switch to align to the front of the lamp, so it is facing the back. I also cant push the excess cord back into the base to hide it out of the way as Ive done with other lamps.

With the finial, the lamp stands about 24 high, not 29.5 (Im fine with this but others may not be).
