This was purchased to add variety of texture to the room.  Notice rug -- too small for this space -- purchased for entry -- and cocktail/end table from AllModern, also.  Assembly took about 30 seconds for this lamp.  Sturdy.  Not a look for every room, but I also wanted a different shape to take away from the two pieces of leftover (in storage) furniture.  Let the eye roam.  Good price.  Soon as draperies become shutters, I'm finished with that room.  Well, maybe another table or two . . .
