Nice lamp! The warm brass is a perfect color; not cheap looking. Something to consider before purchasing though..... it should go in a place where it won't need to be adjusted often because its not as easy as just pulling it out to find the perfect light.... you'll have to loosen 3 wing nuts and fiddle with it to get it just right. A plus is that it comes with a cord so it can be used as a plug in light or hard wired.
