This is a big table lamp.  Be sure to check the sizes, something I forgot to do when I ordered it.  No problem, I placed it opposite it's imagined spot & it still does the trick.  I can't overstate how beautiful the yellow base is.  So difficult to find, a real stunning color.  The only reason this is not a 5 is the device that holds up the shade and the little knob that screws onto it are not top quality.  You can't see it from far away, but that piece is of shoddy quality.  For such a beautiful lamp base (and great quality lamp-shade), you'd think they would not scrimp on the light bulb base, but they did.  So, caveat emptor, the rest is beautiful!
