I shopped far and wide for such a lamp. They're rare in black, and still rarer at this price point. I read all of the reviews, and decided I'd roll the dice.

Pros: Generally looks good. Doesn't look cheap. I think the shade is well made. I was able to put it together myself (I noted several reviews saying that two people are required. They're not, but it DID require a sufficient bit of creativity). PRICE.
Cons: had to fight with it a bit to get the pieces together. BIGGEST CON: shade doesn't angle correctly. The weight seems off-balance, so the shade is at about a 30 degree angle, and I cannot fix it. But I'm OK using it like this. Still get compliments
