This is extremely well made: weighty, with the acrylic top diffuser and very good even lighting. Although it looks top heavy with its small base and narrow stem, it's very stable.
A possible concern that will only become apparent after some usage is the white plastic inner liner. I owned an infrequently used lamp (by a different company) that had the same hard plastic liner. It became brittle and crumbled after a year, even using lower wattage than recommended. Plastic quality varies so much that I'm perhaps needlessly worried, but it did lower my rating.
When the lamp is on, it "shows" as black circles on white which doesn't fit my dream of the perfect lamp for my decor. Would have preferred a silver or fine aluminum mesh liner that kept a more uniform metal appearance.
From a purely design perspective, I feel the large shade overpowers the stem and base not in sync as a whole. Picky, picky.
In all, it's almost 5 star for quality and 3 star for my personal taste.

I bought this mod lamp as a companion to it's matching floor lamp. Yes, yes, that's a little "matchy-matchy", but like it's floor lamp partner this is such a heavy, sleek lamp that it was irresistible. I looked at lamps of similar size, heft and style at a swanky brick & mortar store for literally 4 times the price. This one arrived in two days and I assembled it myself in 10 minutes. It throws a lot of light downward, perfect for reading, and can be adjusted to shine one or both of the included CFL bulbs. I was concerned that light would be annoying through the decorative holes in the shade, but this is not case. The holes "glow", but light is not cast through them. Do be aware that this is a large lamp, so make sure your space can handle it. This is a fantastic lamp.
