I already had a lamp like this but it was in bad shape.  This style for my living room, crafted in a metal that could be described as "gun metal chic," had opaque frosted glass cups with white non-opaque edging.  It's a piece of utilitarian elegance.  I love it. 

Pros: It was really easy to put together..
Cons: It only excepted 40 watt bulbs.
