When you look at the lamp on the website, you see an attractive lamp, which is turned on.  You don't really notice that you don't see a wire.  When you get it and put it together, the wire stands out like a sore thumb.  I'm not returning it, because I don't want to take it apart, box it up and take it to UPS.  However, I think they should have shown it with the wire obviously hanging down from the top.  I wouldn't buy it again.
