It's heavy and lackluster. I was going for the industrial look, but it just didn't work for my décor. Also a bit pricey for what it is. The angle of the arm is quite small, so it does not go directly over the center of my couch. It serves well in a corner over a comfy arm chair for reading, but not if you want more expansive lighting over a large couch or over a dining table. I don't consider it to be one of my best purchases due to price and the look I was trying to achieve.
