I really just needed a lamp, and I thought this one was nice enough. Unfortunately, my cats destroyed the bottom of this, so it looks pretty ratty now. It does give off a good amount of light, and if I can figure out how to repurpose it, it won't be bad.  The outer paper shell just didn't look as good as I thought it would. Overall, wouldn't buy again, but it was pretty cheap, so I'm not mad.
