This lamp is so beautiful. It is elegant and designed so well. The cord comes from the bottom which is so nice instead of the usual ones that come halfway out the pole. The dimmer is great and it easily lights up my entire living room even though it is in the corner and can also dim beautifully for a nice accent. The on switch glows orange which makes it easy to find in the dark which is very convenient. It was a little tricky to set up as other reviewers have mentioned, but I got it together. This is just such a perfect fit!
