This lamp is both functional and cute! The switch onoff is a dimmer switch so you can set it to light or dark. I was worried the lamp wouldnt be bright enough to light up our office but its plenty bright. It comes with the three edison-style bulbs. Due to the style replacing the bulbs may be pricey due to regular bulbs not looking as great in the lamp. We ended up switching ours to the hue lights to change the color and it seems to look fine although not as aesthetic as with the Edison bulbs. This lamp is super easy to assemble, easily a one-person task. Its true to the images shown. The cages are held on by flexible cording so if you tilt the lamp they will sway. Not a problem when stationary but be mindful of when moving it. Overall weve had it for a few days so far and no complaints! Really helps to add a little something to a space rather than a typical basic floor lamp.
