I love that the base is marble and how tall it is. With the white shade it projects a great soft light and it works perfectly with my living room.  

Pros: I feel as though I got what I paid for.
Cons: It was difficult to assemble, the directions weren't in the box and I had to search for them in my purchase.  I would also recommend they pack the item a little better. When I received it in the mail the box was destroyed from shipping.
