The soldering on the glass could be better in places and I don't like that the seams where the sections of the lamp pole have been screwed into one another are visible (the effect kind of looks like bamboo in appearance), but other than that this is a very well made lamp and I was surprised at the quality.  It has two pull cords, two bulbs, and is functionally and aesthetically just what I was looking for to use as a chair-side reading lamp.
