Super impressed with this lamp. Sturdy throughout and weighted at the bottom. The power cord had a designated hole (not a half round cut out) through the base so the lamp sat level. There are two lightbulb bases so you can use one or both to regulate the amount of the light. Very long power cord. The lamp shade was a cool white and blended with other white shades in the room. Overall, I am very happy with the lamp and will look for lamps from this manufacturer in the future.
