It’s beautiful, more brassy than the gold tone I had been anticipating. It’s a very well made lamp with great weight to it and high quality material. My only complaint is your hand needs more clearance to turn the switch on and off. The shade came damaged and Wayfair replaced it immediately. Great customer service on their end. If you’re on the fence to purchase this don’t be, it’s a high end and quality piece at a reasonable price point.
