I like this lamp, but the cord comes out of the front rather than the back.  In short, someone put it together backward.  (Quality control?)  The styrofoam packing was beginning to degrade, which made unpacking messier than it should have been.   I will eventually replace the shade with something a little nicer, but it will do for now.   Nice size, shape, design in general.  I like the black metal, do not like the brassy harp--that should have been pewter or black metal.
