I just unboxed this.
This lamp looked great in the photo at Wayfair.
But yes, as you can see in the photo, the cord comes out of the giraffes belly! 
So no way to hide the cord. At All!
And the shade only barely hides the lamp parts which begin less than 1/2 inch above and below the shade.
In short, the illusion is impossible to maintain except if viewed at a certain angle, in a perfectly white room, by people of a certain height.
I’m hoping it’s not too late to return it...
