Pros: This lamp looks as depicted online. Very pleased with the overall look, size, and sturdiness. Cons: mine was delivered without the plastic cover covering the entire lamp shade-and when I unwrapped it, there was a significant stain on the area that had not been protected. I was very upset with that initially. Luckily I was able to mostly spot clean it so that it's not noticeable, but I can still see where the stain was. For me it was too much a hassle to send it back. I think the price on this lamp is fair, but not necessarily a bargain. Also I have a three way bulb to the wattage it recommends, but often the three way doesn't work-which is maybe my apartments circuit possibly but maybe it's the lamp-who knows. The light it provides is very nice for my living room. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase.
