Both retain the original medium brown color with no significant fading or blotchiness to the finish. The shade is slightly off round, but it’s not overly detracting. There are some cracks to the styrene interior, a few snags to the exterior fabric, and a general slight musty smell. The lamp was acquired from a residence that smelled musty and as such the lamp retains the faint overall odor. Photos reveal more condition details.
