This is a great statement piece, it really stands out in a large living or bedroom. It's solid, well-made and the black of the base has a nice sheen to it. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is because the frosted glass shade is a very dark yellow - wish it was a bit brighter.

Pros: Easily reachable switch on cord
Cons: The shade is a very dark yellow - nice when lit, looks kind of dirty when off
