Really an interesting artistic piece. Originally, I was concerned it was too large for the space because the base is larger than I thought (37 in diameter at widest part of glass base). But the more I looked at it, I felt it was making a unique statement. Very heavy and solid with a high quality textured fabric shade. The ceramic/glass itself has a nice pattern/texture in 2 tone blue. I also like that the light switch turns fully from low to high which you can adjust exactly, better than a 3-way switch. Overall, just make sure you want a lamp that large and tall!
