I am very pleased with this light. I wanted one with a white shade to fill an empty corner, and it works very well in my gray/white living room. I especially like that the cord is enclosed in one of the legs so that it is not dangling down. The shade is also transparent enough to let a lot of light through. At first I was surprised by the size and thought it might be too big, but it's not at all, not in my space.  It is very modern and simple and just what I wanted.
