Quality is good and the lamp looks nice when off, but as other reviewers mentioned, the light bulbs it came with are so bright that you can't actually see the lamp when it's on - it's like having three flashlights pointed at your eyes. So I'm a big grumpy about having to go out and buy lightbulbs that actually work with the lamp - a problem they could've solved by actually testing the lamp with those bulbs. (Note: the bulbs would be fine in a lamp that has shades. They just don't work in this one.) Otherwise, quality and design are good.
