Very nice lamp for the price.  Works well in my retro living room.  I had a 60 watt bulb in it but that was too much light.  Now using a 40 watt bulb and it still gives off plenty of light.  Easy to put together.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the base that holds the round, ball shade is a tiny bit tilted.  If you are OCD it will bother you.  I live a relaxed life, it is fine for me.
