My original order was not available so I was offered this lamp as an alternative. It looked close enough in the illustration to my original choice, so I ordered it. I was very disappointed. White, plastic base, chincy wrapping around the trunk & branches. Looked very cheap. I had wanted it for ambient lighting in my living room and that simply would not work. So I will use it at Christmas and Easter, dress it up, cover the ugly base. I have made a number of purchases through Apollo Box and am very pleased. Very overpriced for what it is.
