I ordered it about the same time as a “bronze” floor task lamp from you. They were right by each other,  it appeared it was intended to be used with the lamp. But it’s a 60 watt bulb,  the max wattage to be used on the lamp is 25-watt. Ths “bronze” lamp, except for a small line of “gold” along part of the edge of the base, is pure black.  It seems to be sturdy. I was going to order the lamp initially as “open box” to save 22, but was afraid it wouldn’t work, but it now looks like I’m going to have to return it. I’m really disappointed about the cost  hassle to return it.
