The base is nice and is as pictured. However, I’ve had this lamp for 8 months and the shade has fallen apart.  It sits on a table and has been turned on only once or twice so no abuse. The problem seems to be the design with small metal pieces glued to the shade.  There’s just no bond between the surfaces and it is doomed to fail.  It’s also is the type with a fitting that slides over the bulb fixture so no luck finding a replacement.
