My camera did not do justice to the way it glows. It has a much more subtle appearance than the photo made it seem. You know how cell phones are not that good on taking photos in the dark of a light glowing. It says to use 40 watt or under. That is just a 4-watt night light bulb in the photo. Bulb not included. Some wear as one expects on cool vintage items. I remember when these were everywhere back in the day but now they become more and more scarce every year. Highly collectible piece of millennial era Ikea.
