All in all, I  recommend this lamp, if this style is what you  are looking for. We live in an A-frame house, so there are some design challenges with finding the right lighting fixtures, but this works well in our living room space. It's a very large shade which works best in larger rooms . The lightbulb that came with it was a 60W LED and it was much too bright , so we replaced it with a 40W LED soft white lightbulb.
