I love my lamp I use it for my bedroom as my reading lamp

First one didn't work at all. I was sent a new one and it's what I expected so if you get a working lamp, it's what you would expect. Nothing fancy. Cheaply made, but you get what you pay for

I didn’t like it out of the box but my husband loves it and everyone compliments it. It’s so nice actually.

It turned out to be a very nice lamp

It’s not GOLD at all - look at the pictures it is shiney brass - very cute for our guest room and very easy to put together. It’s about 5 feet tall.
