The lamp looks and works great, and it is the perfect height hanging over our couch (not in the way for anyone getting up or down). My only flaws is that I wish there were markings so that lining up the 3 pieces of the arched arm was easier to get it straight. Second, I wish the lampshade didn’t come folded. There are no crease marks but there is an indentation that has not fixed itself after over a weeks of hanging.
