This is a beautiful lamp with vibrant colors.  I love the fact that unlike so many ceramic lamps, this is not round and fat, but is actually elliptical with a relatively slim profile.  However, I had an extremely difficult time trying to tighten the harp without impeding the use of the on/off switch - every time I got the harp reasonably situated, and tightened down the socket, it never totally aligned properly.  Although I managed, this is definitely a negative feature of the lamp - perhaps it was just mine, but it is still worth noting.
