Lovely - very pretty, love the silvery gold exterior and the gold crystals. As this is a swag lamp, the cord could be 3-4 foot longer. It just fit where I hung it, and it was not a higher ceiling. Also be aware you have to use either E26 Type A 60 W or E26 CFL 13 W with this - you cannot use a normal 40 or 60 watt bulb or the cord can't hand the wattage. I put in a E26 CFL but don't care for the cold white light - it ruins the ambiance of the lamp. So I have to go look for a warm white. Other than that, love the lamp. :-)
