The lamp looks great. I have it in a corner so it's out of reach. It definitely adds the finishing touch to my living room! However, the lamp is a little flimsy, so I wouldn't recommend if in traffic area. Also, it is best to have a 2nd person to help assemble. I always do on my own, but it was not easy. Make sure to wash hands before installing the lamp shade ;) There was some dark, greasy stuff in base packaging which I didn't notice until I handled the shade :/  

Pros: Great value, durable finish, very pretty
Cons: thin arch, flimsy
