The lamp has a great feature with the push button on the floor to turn on/off.  I've loved seeing the feature in the last few years become more popular, especially for floor lamps that often sit behind furniture.  That said, the shade wasn't quite what I expected.  It's oddly see through when you turn it on.  I took some pics, but it doesn't quite show how strange it looks.  In the pic it almost looks very modern/einstein-y, but not so much in person.  Has a weird glow. I still love the copper finish when it's off and will keep around for the holiday (Halloween!) as it's a perfect match for that, but not sure for extended use.
