I love the design of this piece, but otherwise I don't see too many good qualities. The shade is plastic, which is fine; but I read a review that said their's melted with the use of a regular lightbulb, so I'm worried about that... Fire hazard, much?
Apparently the metal base is made with lead, so not good for homes with children or pets..! The shade doesn't attach to the lamp, it just rests on top. So if the lamp is even slightly bumped, the shade topples right off! Again- another reason it's not good for a home with children or pets. All in all, especially for the price, might not be worth it.
