This is a beautiful lamp with a heavy base. This lamp leans however which is disappointing. I have cardboard under one side and it still leans slightly. I have a 60 watt equivalent bulb since it is near my tv and it puts out a decent amount of light. It did not turn on initially and I had to readjust the inner fixture which was very challenging in order to release the tension and allow the pull cord  work. Also, it came with dark stains on the white pull rope which did not come out with dish soap. I was hoping it may have been grease and was easily removable. Alas, no such luck. Overall satisfied since I didn't want to go through the hassle of having a replacement sent to me.
