[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be fair, it looks bigger in photos. It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it doesn't take away from it being functional and stylish. It really fits in with our country living theme in the living room. The entire thing weighs 7 lbs so it's lightweight and easy to put in most places. It's a decent lampshade; no cracks or bending. It also has a nice soft light so it really brings a balance of soft light and brightness at the same time. It was very easy to assemble; the lamp meets the base. Insert the light bulb and all is well. It has a little flip button to press, far nicer than those with the slider buttons that hurt your thumb. It really brightens up the room. Get it? Brights up the room? Hee hee. I do think it's nice though and really looks aesthetically pleasing.
