The base is incredibly unstable (maybe it's better on a hard floor but I'm using it on a low pile carpet). The shade is nice enough but it sits on the bulb casing really loosely like it just spins around and slightly touching it knocks it off center. Seems like it should have some type of nut or something to support a more firm mounting. Further, I really needed this lamp to add to the existing light in our room for reading, but it's really only going to provide ambient light at best. Wish I'd spent more and gotten something different

Pros: None
Cons: Wobbly, unstable, casts only minimal light
