Such a gorgeous shade with a light blue color woven in. The top of the shade is a solid blue. The rattan has a thicker feel that seems sturdy. Comes with a black metal base. The blue woven in is so pretty..just love it.

I really loved this shade in the pics online! I thought it was perfect for what I needed, with a vertical gray weave and horizontal lighter brown weave. Though the description called the lamp purple, I could clearly see it was not. Though it looked to have a teal (not a favorite color) metal structure in the online pictures, which the description called blue iron, I decided I could live with that because I really didnt see much of it in the online pics. What showed up was very different color-wise, with a vertical teal (oh no!) weave, darker brown almost walnut (did not match my kitchen) horizontal weave, and a white metal frame. The teal, especially, was a deal breaker because it just does not fit with my home colors. Unfortunately, this shade is just not going to work. I am bummed. Everything else about it is wonderful...great quality materials and seems like it will last well even though it is light-weight, which is the only reason it got a two-star instead of one. The instructions were easy to understand.
