I didn't realize that the fixture we purchased was actually just the shade and required a separate purchase of the gooseneck to go along with it. Thus, the whole reason for this purchase. Everything worked out great in the end, but it did pose a bit of a problem in the beginning. We paired it with 12" Empire Wall Sconce Shade in the satin black (SKU MNLT1187). The combination worked out great and looks real nice.
