I am keeping this lamp because I like the lines and returning it would be more hassle.  If the shade was 2" taller, I would give it five stars.  As it is, the light bulb is visible from above.  When I placed it on a side table between two chairs (all three of which are from Wayfair!), the bulb was unattractive and distracting.  I found another place for it on a higher table and it is fine.  Also, the ring arrived broken but not so badly that I couldn't use the lamp.
