We wanted a lamp to go behind our couch and come over the back of it, so that no matter where on the couch you were sitting, you could get ample lighting. This is perfect! And, we love the unique style of the lamp shade and it blends nicely with our decor. 

Pros: Seems very sturdy and put together with good quality.
Cons: The only on/off switch is at the lamp shade level. It would be nice if a switch could be built into the pole, about halfway down.
