Love the lamp, it is just what my livingroom was missing; something to fill the large volume of space. The only things I am not a fan of are the height and the lampshade. It would be nice if it was a bit taller - yes I looked at the specifications so I knew what I was getting in to, but for a tall person I do have to duck to avoid the shade - nothing a small modification can't solve. The white lampshade is white on the outside, but a cream color on the inside. The shade itself has a yellowish glow, I was thinking it would have more of a white glow. Outside of those two things the visual that the lamp creates is worth the minor details.
