This lamp is beautiful.  The design is unique and it is very well-made.  The color is a lush bronze or dark brown, identical to the picture in the listing.   The base is weighted so it won't tip over easily.  The shade color matches perfectly with the color of the base. The material on the shade could perhaps be a little thicker so the bulb is not outlined when turned on, but not a big deal.  Packaging and shipping were outstanding.  I bought a pair of these lamps together. The lamps  arrived quickly in two separate, well-packed boxes and were in perfect condition.  I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and this overall transaction.
