Not as impressed as I thought I would be given all the great reviews. I was expecting it to look like real wood but it has a very cheap fake wood look especially due to the fact that the rods connect in 3 places and those divisions are very clear as the patterns do not line up. Additionally the metal part of the white shade that attaches to the light bulb was warped and hard to fix up straight without it tilting over. I would have returned but the packaging came with really messy styrofoam that tore into a million pieces and got everywhere - there was no way I was going to be able to put it back together. Overall, a cheaply made lamp that wasn't worth it for the price.
