I really like the look of this lamp, and it was very easy to set up. The on-off switch (a portion of the way down the power cord) is at a perfect distance from the lamp to use for a bedside table.

I'm taking away one star for the construction and for the packaging. WRT the construction, the shade piece cracked literally the first night I had it. You have to be pretty gentle when tightening the black piece onto the bottom of the shade. Also, the foam inside the packaging was especially terrible. It basically dissolved as I was trying to get the lamp out of the box and tiny white flecks of foam went everywhere. I'm still finding pieces of foam days later.
