Love love LOVE this lamp! Stunning look in day and night! The hue given at night is just what I wanted and the crystals (plastic) give off a cool design. The black shade looks purplish at night but makes that all the more stunning. Easy to assemble except to dangle the crystals onto the rims I had to look up pictures from previous reviews. The hairpin like clips were confusing with no instructions. Wish the crystals were glass vs plastic but does gives a glass  like appearance. Pictures doesnt do justice!
