The lamp features clean lines with natural materials which is a contrast that works well particularly for a Swedish or Japanese style, minimalist interior, it gives the room a warm ambient light. It's just as pictured. It works well. It has some nice little details such as the clear plastic light switch and electrical cord which makes it visually less obtrusive than a darker cord. I like the sturdy wood stand. The shade is also quite sturdy, especially for a paper shade. The bulbs are distributed evenly.
