Looks great in my living room. Modern but still fairly inconspicuous, which is what I wanted. It's heavier/sturdier than I anticipated. I would have given it 5 stars, but I had to receive a replacement lamp because the first one we received could not be assembled. The lamp post pieces come already strung on the cord (easy to assemble!) but the pieces were strung in the wrong order so they couldn't be screwed together.
