Very cute and exactly what I was looking for on my desk. I don't have an issue with a gap between the white globe and the metal base like some reviewers mentioned. I wonder if they didn't fit all 3 prongs inside the globe. I attached it by squeezing all 3 prongs from the top, slid them into the globe, and then quickly let go and got my hand out so the globe snapped into place as the prongs expanded. It was very quick and easy. The base is heavy so I don't need to worry about my cat knocking it over. I really like it.
