This is a 2nd review my initial one was a 4 star but I've lived with this lamp for several months now and like it a lot. Soft diffused light is one of the positives and the beauty of the glass is the 2nd. I ordered another for my other bedside table.  Here is the negative I found it difficult and this could just be me - I haven't set up the 2nd lamp yet so don't know if I will have a problem -  the metal part of lamp that screws into glass part doesn't screw firmly - so it's a bit wobbly - however in everyday use it's not a problem and I'm hoping I don't have the issue with lamp #2.
