I love this wall lamp! I purchased it to go above my small work desk since I don't have a lot of surface space to have a desk lamp. I haven't installed it yet because we are waiting to see how high we need to install it once our new computer arrives. I did open the package and check it all out - installation seems like it will be simple enough. I paired it with an "edison" type of bulb and I love the look! 
I also love that you don't have to hardwire install it (We're not handy when it comes to electrical) so the fact that I can just plug it in works for me. The wire is clear-ish so it shouldnt stand out too much against the wall.
