Great lamp, but wish the shades were a bit better quality as they seem pretty cheap compared to the lamp. We're also more of a fan of warm than cool white and even with the proper light bulbs this light is very white. Might have just been our lamp but when assembling the two parts of the main pole, the switch and cord hole are on the same side of the lamp. In order to have the switch facing out towards the room the cord also has to exit the front of the lamp as well or you have to point both towards the wall.
