The lamp is really nice. The clear, glass, seeded lamp is a nice touch but it'll take a little trial and error to find the right edison style bulb for it. The post and base is built solid and heavy not flimsy. I'd rather have the switch on the lamp post w/ a dimmer switch or a three way switch w/low/med/high but this has it as a floor switch with only one setting. Overall, I'm very happy with this lamp.
