Looks cute and modern. The base is smaller than I'd imagined, and upon close inspection you can tell that it's not the highest quality (metal base has imperfections where the corners have been welded together/bent, so it's not smooth). The shade has a nice translucency, so the light feels warm and cosy, although again, you can tell it's not the highest quality, as near the top and base of the shade, you can see where the fabric is uneven/glued (you can see this reflected in the uneven shadows when the lamp is on). Inline on/off switch for easy use. I do wish the cord was a bit longer. But overall, for the price point, it's a decent looking lamp and does the job.
