the "wooden" accents at the top of the lamp are cheap pieces of plastic, and the parting line is not well hidden. Also, the cord comes out of the base in a way that eliminates the direction that you can rotate the lamp. I prefer a cord that comes out of the center, under the lamp so you have some flexability in the direction you face the lamp. Pro: if is a very unique lamp, and the flexable options on where you can direct light is very nice.

Pros: design, direction options of lighting
Cons: get up close and it looks cheap, cord comes out of base on top, instead of coming out of the bottom
