Love the lamp! I was looking for something that had gold and white on it to match the drawer pulls in my kitchen (open floor concept, living room is near the kitchen), and this lamp fit that bill. The gold is brushed and not super shiny, it fits my living room perfectly, and it's a huge plus that it's a 3-way switch lamp! I purchased 2 even though I can only put 1 out for the time being. Would def. recommend. Shipping was fast and the lamp came packaged well!
