The lamp is cute and compact.  Unlike most floor lamps that have the cord come out of the base, the chord comes out midway up from the bottom out of the tube that holds the light.  Because of the design (two tubes side by side) this is probably the only way to route the chord.  That being said, I wish it had been depicted in the photo.  I ordered the rust color, which is nice, but it has black patches of "faux finish."  Not a problem for me, but also not depicted in the photo.
