This is a pretty nice wall-mounted sconce. The rigid tubing gives it a "built-in" look and the plug makes it convenient to locate it wherever you want, without having to open any walls. The "gold colored" metal is pretty easy to scratch, so be careful with that. Other than that, it has the usual issues with wall/ceiling mounted fixtures that come unassembled: pulling the right mount of cord through the tubing, screwing all the parts together, mounting brackets that require you to get two tiny screws into holes that don't always match up, etc.
