This is better in person than the pictures can justify! I spent a LOT of time shopping an comparing on multiple sites and I am so pleased to have found this lamp. The colors and pattern are perfect to tie into the room, the shade shape is not one I've really seen and compliments the photo above (not intended when I bought it), and the materials are well worth the price. The shade is a great addition off as well and it brings a smile to my face. Just what I was looking for!
