Needed a new shade for the lamp in our family room. Sectional and walls are shades of tan, so I thought the black shade was the thing to give the room some pizzazz. Wow, it looks great. During the day when the lamp is off, the shade is solid black.  Once the lamp is on a gold sheen from the satin lining filters through the material.  The shade is very well made and adds elegance to the room.  I love it!  see pics.

Pros: quality materials and workmanship, elegant
Cons: none
