This is a very nice lamp. It was very well-packaged and easy to put together.  Pure white base. The shade is high quality but when the lamp is turned on the shade is more cream than white. At first it bothered me but now I love it. I think it adds character to the lamp because the base is a smooth acrylic-type material and the linen shade adds some depth to it. It is not a 3-way lamp however.  The knob turns like it is a 3-way lamp but it is not. Your 3-way-light bulb stays at the same level of brightness and on the 4th click the light turns off.

Pros: Easy to assemble, quality lamp shade.
Cons: Not a 3-way lamp as advertised
