What you see, is what you get. That's a good thing. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. The description is accurate and the color (on my monitor, yours, of course, may be a little different) is very much like the product "in person." I'd call it teal - not too dark, not too light in color - leaning slightly more toward green than blue. Decent weight, fairly stable on the table. And (this is a compliment, not a complaint), one of the shades (we bought two lamps, which arrived in two boxes) was damaged, and after a few minutes filling out a report online, a replacement was received in less than a week.
