Absolutely love this lamp.  It exceeded my expectations.  I ordered the lamp in the blue and it is amazing.  It is larger than I thought, which I love.  I just ordered an additional one for the family room.  The only negative is the cord.  It comes out of the top, which looks awkward (see in the one photo), but I did what another poster suggested and wove it through the roping and now it isn't noticeable.  Also, be care when lifting the lamp and don't lift it by the top as it pops off.  I plan on hot glueing it down.  The lamp looks much more expensive than it was.  Great buy!
