Wow!! Is all I can say! This is the most beautiful lamp that I have ever seen! It is way bigger than I thought. It is super heavy and built to last forever. The base is beautiful pottery on top of brass base. The socket and switch are very sturdy and well made. The lamp shade is made sturdy and is a beautiful addition to the lamp. It is so beautiful! I highly recommend them for an upgraded look in your home! I wish I had two!!
