As pictured, this lamp is extremely elegant with just enough curve in the stand to give an otherwise austere design a gracefulness that echoes the soft, diffused light that comes through the also very nicely made (and nice fabric) drum shade.  The quality of the workmanship on all the components is top notch.  Frankly, at this price point it seems like it actually is serious about its mission to create quality modern design at affordable prices (as opposed a store we shall not mention that advertises itself as providing "affordable design" at anything but affordable prices.)  Just discovered and am a huge fan.
