I ordered two to go right across from each other that needed to look alike. The first two I got, one was super light and the other was really dark on the base. The shades, one was cream and one was white. Wayfair sent another lamp see if it would match one of the ones I had. It was broken when it arrived. I had to order another one. It still was off in color (medium) from the two original ones; but I was so sick of it by that time, I just chose the closest one and at least had a closer color of the same lamp. The last one sits a tad bit off. I had to put something under one side to make it look straighter. They are pretty lamps and I would probably would have given them five stars if I just ordered one (well, maybe not the one that sits a tad off). Wayfair was great in working with me to resolve the issue. They are handmade and each lamp sits not center of the gold on the bottom, which I just have to overlook.
