Unfortunately, as much I really like this lamp, the lampshade I received with the bronze base was not white as described. Rather, it is a beige/wheat color and I thought I would have to return the lamp. However, Wayfair to the rescue! I called and discussed the situation and Wayfair arranged to have a replacement white lampshade sent to me. Love the lamp and love Wayfair's customer service! I'm very happy. :)
