This lamp is just as pictured.  As others have noted, it is very LARGE, so make sure these dimensions will work for your space before ordering.  It works perfectly in my living room and adds brightness and a modern look to my traditional room.  Wasn't sure it would go, but it looks surprisingly good!  Seems well made.  Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the lucite base- that looks a bit cheesy, but you don't notice it too much.  Lamp also comes with a LED bulb, so well worth the price.
