Love this lamp! So easy to put together, and since the shades include diffusers, the light spreads out nicely - no "halo effect" on the ceiling or the wall. Very happy about that. Love the natural look of the shades. I was concerned it might look cheap, but No. Nice black finish on the stand, and pleased that it has the foot button on the cord. 
Not too tall, but is the height I wanted for the space.
