The lamp is very chic and works well in my space. I was a bit nervous after seeing some negative reviews after my purchase, but once it arrived and I started putting it together I realized that the negative reviews were probably user error from not reading the directions. The plastic bulb 1.) has instructions about the type of lightbulb so you don't burn a hole in it and 2.) the globe does not just sit on top, it is affixed between two pieces that hold it in place.  I would love if there was a version where the bulb was a frosted glass.Overall pretty great product.
