I’d hate to say it but this lamp just looks cheap and cheesy. I’m very disappointed. The lamp shade came in pieces that I had to assemble together and lock into place. I couldn’t get a tight enough fit to make the waves in the shade totally disappear. The shadebulb connection is plastic and I can’t for the life of me make the shade fit snugly and make it straight. I finally gave up after 15 minutes. The piece of stone at the bottom is nice and heavy duty, but I don’t think the color of the stone matches the bright gold tone of the lamp. It’s an all-around miss and disappointment. I’ll be placing it in a hidden corner of the guest bedroom so I don’t have to look at it anymore.
