Love this lamp. Love the design and the quality. I've been looking for the right one for two years, after I moved into my condo. The lighting I had was just not enough for the living-room portion of the wide open (large combined area) kitchen, dining and living. What I love is that the lamp is a slim design, has a heavy base and stands solidly without wobbling, but it is not overpowering. The shade is the same kind of glass that I have in the  dining room lamp. The packaging is genius and guides you how to put the lamp together. Assembly is very easy.  A lot of thought has been put into this product from design to materials to packaging. I love that.
