I bought this on sale and wasn't expecting the best quality but it is very nice for the price. Aesthetically it is understated but still attractive and interesting. The first lamp I received was wonky so Customer Service replaced it, no fuss, no muss. The only real issue is that the specs indicate this lamp has a 3-way switch but it doesn't. I've had it now for a month and it's not a big problem, even though it was one of the reasons that I chose this lamp.
