This lamp has everything I was looking for in a light fixture. It has an attractive modern industrial look which I find very appealing and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. With detailed instructions, it's easy to assemble and stands amply on my side table. All that is required is to secure the glass globe with a light bulb. When I first screwed on the bulb, it was a bit crooked. But once I readjusted it, the glass globe and the bulb were secured and perfect. The bulb runs on a 60-watt setting and is generously bright. The base is a good weight with a bronze finish. I love the aesthetic of this lamp, and the 27" size is absolute for a console table or nightstand. Highly recommend !!!
