I really like the mid century design of this lamp. The picture online is deceiving, though. As you can see in my pics, the cord runs under the center of the wood crosspieces which is not shown online. Also, as shown in my pics, the fabric in the shade is twisted which is pretty obvious because of the open weave look. There was a chip in the frame as well. IF you happen to get a lamp without these issues, the lamp is very attractive with a pleasant glow when lit. Note the size before ordering. It was larger than I pictured.
