The light is perfect for our living room. The one shade is none intrusive, the marble base is nice and heavy, plus the light is very modern looking. The only comment I'll share is that I wasen't aware that the bottom of the shade was covered underneath aside from a circle to screw in the light bulb. The light is still plenty bright! 

Pros: great price, bright, modern
Cons: I wish the knob was on the lamp and not the cord.
