A well made lamp with a wide and crisp shade. I like the shape, proportions, and the texture on the ceramic lamp body. Looks great in our traditional meets mid-century home. It has a nice weight, so it isn't easily toppled by happy dog tails and toddlers (it's been tested). The shade is closer to true white than a cream, so the light is great (not too yellow, and not cold either). Also, since I can easily paint it any color when I decide to change things up, this lamp has many lives ahead of it.
