Works perfectly, and fits our decor. The lamp is heavy and feels very well made. The cord is nice and thick, and is grounded. The outlet and USB port work perfectly and the lamp sits flat and is stable. It doesn't wobble  The overall weight is good and is evenly distributed in the base. My only complaint is that it takes a tiny bit of bending to get the lamp shade to sit flat, but once its in place it doesn't move. Additionally, you may want to consider the size of the plug you will be using if you plug into the lamp - since its sideways - there may not be enough room for a wide plug.
