Really nice lamp. Am using it as a "statement" fixture in my home office. It is large enough that it has presence and modern in feel, but the cork shade warms it up. When lit, the cork is just beautiful. Be aware that it has two "seams" in the cork on opposite sides of the shade. If that's going to bother you, I'd steer clear. That said, it is a really great fixture and looks like a much more expensive piece than it is.  Great value! Great style!
