The lamp is a quality product for the price and looks great in my living room.  The only thing I don't like is the switch location.  The switch is attached to the cord about a foot away from the base.  I have mine running on an extension cord being the couch which puts the switch behind the couch.  Luckily I also have that outlet on a wall switch so I don't need access to the foot switch.  I wish there was a switch near the bulb like most other lamps.

Pros: Great value
Cons: poor switch location
