Love this lamp. Bought the white one for the dining room and it lit up the entire room with one bulb. We had a massive floor lamp before that directs the light to the ceiling, it might have lit the room slightly brighter but the dining table doesn't have the kind of light it needed.
It didn't come with a manual (not ours) bit its some easy to set up i id it all by myself in 20 min. 
the only bone i would pick is the shade can be slightly bigger for the height of the lamp, but that cn be easily swapped out down the line.
What a great value for a lamblike this!! I might buy another one in black now for my living room.
