This lamp looks nice. The lamp shade was a bit crooked when we put it on the lamp, but we were able to bend it so it looks like it's on level. I wish the pull cord had been in the same bronzy finish as the base, but it was polished chrome. It gives a great amount of light with the 100W light bulb it says it is rated for. I think I would recommend a 40w or 60w bulb instead. It's not three way, but doesn't advertise itself to be. (photos still show clear packaging on the lampshade that needs to be removed).
