The appearance is interesting,  but I needed a functional floor lamp to light up a dim corner with a chrome finish... This fit the bill.  The light is bright and the neck is super easy to adjust.  So, the lighting can be adjusted by simply craning the neck in one direction or another.  Great buy. 

Pros: Looks and works just like the ad said it would.
Cons: This is not a decorative piece for me, it's more for function.  Not really a con, but just beware that it may not blend with some design styles.
