I love, love, love this floor lamp. It gives plenty of light and is perfect beside my sofa. It came on time and was easy to put together. My furnishings and decor are a mixture of some traditional and contemporary and it complements all of it. Before I received the lamp, I was worried that the shade might look too rustic or country or not allow enough light, but I'm happy to say the shade is perfect. It's a wonderful lamp at a very reasonable price.
