This is a great table lamp. The description is accurate. The shade is solid and not a flimsy, easy-to-break glass. The base is weighty enough that it doesn't seem like it will topple over very easily. The bronze is a true bronze-brown, not shades of black. There are other coordinating lighting pieces in the Majesty set too, which is nice to complete a room.
One comment on the shade - it is not very long, so if it is placed higher up on a shelf or table, and you sit on the floor or a lower chair, the light bulbs are very easily in your line of sight (as in, they sit low under the shade and the shade doesn't cover them). I originally had this on a shelf next to and slightly above a couch and when sitting on the couch, the bulbs were too in my face to leave it there. I moved it to a lower table and it's beautiful.
One comment on the packing - the styrofoam made a huge mess. It was encased in a styrofoam block (good for shipping, not good for unpacking). The shade was in a cut-out section of the block, and then the cut out foam was just crammed back in around the shade. Not nice styrofoam peanuts that are easy to clean, but just small individual bits of styrofoam that floated around and stuck to everything. I recommend you unpack this outside.
