It works. It looks sleek and modern and has a nice height to it. Definitely not a high-end lamp, but obviously you get what you pay for. As others have mentioned, the shades want to be lop-sided so bad and you may have to adjust them often. But if you're looking for an affordable lamp with warm light to accent your space, I suggest this one. 

Assembly is my only REAL complaint. Trying to keep the light cords in the base while I assembled the lamp poles (by myself) was hell. I'm sure there's some way this could be made easier.
