Great style, great price, but not as functional as it could be. The adjustable joints don't hold as tightly as I would wish, especially since the glass shade is weighty for the construction.   The arms need to be set in a specific configuration or else the light sags. We installed two of these on a wall where we could hard-wire them to boxes but didn't have easy access to wiring them to a wall switch. Once the cord cover was removed, the resulting hole at the bottom of the base provided a handy spot for my husband to add simple brass twist switches.
