I love this swag lamp. I still can't believe the price! It was really well packaged and delivery was as promised. The color of the shade, is amberish when the light is on an appears kind of frosted when not in use. The cord and the chain were the perfect length. I'm not kidding when I say I took it out of the box and hung it up. Fortunately there was already a hook in the ceiling so I didn't have to do that. If I did though, no problem. All of the hardware for hanging was included. I was concerned that the 15 inch diameter wouldn't be large enough over my 48 inch table. It's perfect. My husband even said how nice it looks (he never mentions anything). If you're considering it just do it. You'll be glad you did!
