Overall we're very pleased with this lamp. We're going to replace the bulb with a brighter one and ended up cheating with a Bluetooth outlet and a faux wall switch to deal with the cord switch. Assembly was still rough despite reading the other reviews, partially due to a weld spot we had to file down so that nothing sat proud. It fits the space well, is extremely sturdy (especially the base), and goes well with our simple style. It's the right quality for the cost.
