The main issue is that the colour is not accurate in the photo - when unlit, it’s more of a mushroom colour so much darker. I unwrapped it, hoping it would look lighter but not the case. When lit, it does appear somewhat lighter. I’ve got used to it and put a brighter bulb in. Fortunately, it goes with my decor!The quality is pretty good for the price but on my table lamp it’s a little less robust than I would like. Maybe my fault for buying the 14” when the size smaller would have been fine.
