This is a beautiful lamp that adds a pop of style to our otherwise traditional New England home.  It actually has a Craftsman feel to it, which is itself a modern-traditional type of design.  The lamp shipped quickly (from CA to MA in about a week) and was fairly easy to assemble with two people working together - would have been somewhat of a challenge alone.  

The lamp gives a good amount of light to our 12 x 12 living room.  Although my husband compalins that he is too warm when sitting directly beneath it (it is over the back of our couch), I like the little bit of added heat that it gives off.
