Perfect lamp for small spaces! The lamp hangs over the desired area, which is great if there is no space for a small table to set a lamp on. Fits our needs great! The lamp design is simple, sleek black iron with a rustic lamp shade. The lamp shade is very light, but it has to be to hang over and not tip the lamp. You actually unroll the lamp shade when it arrives. I was unsure how this would turn out at first. Looks great!
