Love this lamp!  Looked for a really long time for an arc lamp for my dining area, and after comparing various lamps at various price points I went with this one. I am extremely impressed at the quality for the price. It's sturdy with a heavy base. Quality materials. I really like that there is a diffuser on the shade, so the bright light doesn't bother. The light bulb that was included is a bit dimmer than I'd like, so I might switch to a brighter one. I also wish the cord was clear instead of black, but not a huge issue and doesn't take away from how great the lamp is otherwise. I've included some photos of the lamp during the day and in the evening with it on, plus some features -- including the cord and on/off switch, which isn't included in the listing and I wasn't sure what it would look like when I purchased. Hoping this will help others. (Apologies for the WFH mess :) )
