I purchased this lap for my new living room.  It looks great with the blue and gray color scheme, but as other reviewers have mentioned the glass base is actually a ball filled with twisted wires.  Also the glass is clear not gray tinted as in the picture.  The lampshade is very nice looking with a great texture to it.  I only wish the cord were not brown - a white or even a black would have been better.

Pros: Easy to assemble, stylish looking
Cons: brown cord
