This is a really nice lamp and I think it's well made. I got the black with frosted globes because I planned to use this in our bedroom and I didn't want the light to be too harsh. But there is something about this lamp that just makes it feel really big and gawky. It's growing on me, but I'm not sure where to keep it. My mistake was not paying close attention to the dimensions and using a measuring tape to get a better idea of how big this lamp really is. 

People have said it's hard to find light bulbs but I used standard bulbs and they fit fine. Maybe they've fixed that since last year.
