I purchased this lamp three years ago and as we just moved, I was once again reminded of just how much I love it as I parsed through our belongings and had to decide which ones came with us and which ones would be a part of the moving sale. :-) Yes, it definitely came with us. I can't tell you how many people have remarked about it since I have had it. It is whimsical, colorful, and, particularly at night, simply a wonderful addition to our living room. (Yes, I came here to look at potential new purchases for our new house. Can't you tell?)
