The lamp looks great. However I am docking 2 stars for the following reasons - length of the chord which is quite short. Secondly the base does not have a bottom cover, our lamp is on a high glass shelf - so you can see the wiring on the underside. Thirdly, the silver base is cheap and lightweight plastic. It does not firmly weigh the lamp down so there is a possibility of the lamp tipping over when the wire is moved. For this price, I would expect the lamp to be of a much higher quality.
