I had previously purchased a Phileas rechargeable lamp for myself & my mother was so impressed she wanted one as well. I ordered her the Phileas with the ikat shade in teal. The order was received promptly and was packaged very carefully. The lamp base itself is superb, and goes with both traditional & modern looks, depending on what shade you chose. The shade is great, lovely colours & I forgot Pooky also send a lightbulb with the base - bonus! My mum loves it so much that she can't decide on its right home & keeps moving it around - the benefit of a cordless lamp!
