I really like this lamp. Great value for the price. It is at its best when the light is on and lightens up the base!  The only thing I don’t care for is the color of the shade. And that is only because my walls are painted a different shade of beige. I plan to give this room an off-white paint job and I think I will like it even more. The photo in Wayfair gives the impression that the shade is white. It is not.
