It is stunning.  We were planning to use it as a replacement floor lamp in the living room.  The 40 watt bulbs it came with were WAYYY too dim for that.  We replaced with 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs (it takes candelabra bulbs btw).  It is still a bit dim, but the light is gorgeous.  The piece itself is striking during the day because of the way the light plays with the shape.  Also, these are signed and numbered pieces by an artist.  We ended up ordering the tallest one and two of the smaller ones...
