Beautiful lamp! It works perfectly next to my mid-century modern writing desk, and offers a small touch of geometry to the room. The light is as soft or ample as I need it to be with the three-way LED source controlled by lightly touching the top of the lamp. I wanted a lamp that could be turned on easily without climbing behind furniture or pulling the cord out to find the switch. Putting it together was a breeze, it took me 10 minutes, I think, and it was delivered rather quickly. I highly recommend this lamp!
