I like this lamp, I dont love this lamp for two reasons. I should have ordered a taller lamp 1 if you are sitting under it and are taller than 5 you will hit you head. The lamp tilts forward a little because the base is just a bit too small 2 so adding a diffuser would be too weighty, and because the trajectory of the light is straight down I would have hoped to add one. The style is nice, very mid-century.
