We're totally pleased with this table lamp. Not only is it a good-looking addition to the room, but the ease of turning it on (retro-looking pull-chains) was what sold me. I needed to find a replacement lamp for my 102-year old mother, who is still an avid reader. However, at that age, turning switches on and off can be a problem. The no-snag, no-drag pull-chains were easy for her to grab and tug to turn on her reading lamp. She loves it, and frankly, it reminds her of lamp fixtures from her youth. Double bonus!Pros: Easy assembly.
