"This lamp is a good size, heavy and attractive. Two things I didn't know when I ordered it are that it is a 3 way which I like, and that it is actually like a navy blue and grey, not the green I was going for. It worked anyway since the room I was doing was Easter blue/green. Also the shade is nice, but it is stark white."

"the order arrived very fast. it arrived even before i had email confirmation that it had shipped! there were no damages so i was greatly relieved. the lamp is very pretty. not sure about the price though...could have been cheaper.
from afar it looks like an antique chinese vase because of its color. it is exactly what i had hoped for and wanted.

Nice lamps but.., September 17, 2006
By PCath from AL

"These are very nice lamps however the picture is misleading. The picture makes the lamps appear to be a taupe base/black design color and they are actually a taupe base/blue design color. Keep that in mind when ordering. The item description offers no color description so there is only the picture to go on. I wanted others interested in this item to be aware of the actual coloring."
