This is a beautiful lamp, the only thing I don't like about it is that the bulb shines through the shade and hits me in the eyes on my desk. I have a 60 watt bulb in and I am going to try lowering the wattage.  I have the lamp positioned half behind my monitor to block the brightness in my eyes.  But, the lamp is really beautiful and nice quality.  Came all assembled so nothing to do but unpack, screw in bulb, and plug in.
