I like the lamp. The shade leaves a bit to be desired in terms points for style but it's serves its purpose. I'd like to find a replacement shade but I'm not sure how to go about doing that to find one that fits this lamp. I placed the lamp on a pretty fluffy rug in my living room so it's not as level as I'd like so I'll have to find thing to help level the lamp so it doesn't look like it's leaning. The base is very solid/heavy.
