A perfect fit for the corner where I needed extra light to create a reading nook.  We live in a mid century home, and are trying to maintain the style of the mid century with a modern twist.  The look of this lamp is perfect for our aesthetic.  The only issues I have is that the shade seems to have long threads woven through the "linen" which is a little distracting and the pole/stand--when screwed together--doesn't line up perfectly, but neither of those issues any anything anyone other than me would notice.  My husband won't even notice! Great lamp for the price.
