Overall I like the style of the lamp. It works very well as a reading lamp beside my chair. I was looking for a lamp with a fairly accessible switch since a lot of the ones I looked at had a floor switch and this is in a place where I wouldn't have easy access. I feel a pull cord from within the shade would be nicer, but the knob on the arm isn't bad. 

Since the shade comes flattened there are a couple wrinkles that are only very slowly going away. I'm hopeful they eventually go away entirely.
