This lamp is a must-have! It is fun and elegant, and puts out so much light! The lighting element is an LED lighting strip that runs the full length of the lamp's inner pole so you'll save on electricity and don't have to ever replace light bulbs. When I saw it I was so intrigued but it's even better in person. It's gorgeous and so unique. The plug-in cord is long for hard-to-reach outlets and you can conveniently turn it on and off using the foot, or hand, push button on the cord. It also pairs with smart plug-ins. This is classy as well as practical and I can highly recommend it.
