Great lamp:
This lamp look and works great! I can not belive a lamp of this quality could be around fifty bucks. The shade is made of real glass and the light illuminates the whole room which is about 22 ft by 18 ft wide.

Great lamp for the money!:
This lamp was a great buy. It's attractive, plus good quality. The base is nice and heavy. The lighting goes from dim to high. The off/on switch can be reached while sitting. The only problem I can see might be purchasing a replacement bulb. I saved the information about the bulb because I may have to order one from one of those specialty bulb places on the internet. Worth it to me.
