I ordered the lamp to have an eye-catcher in my living room and to round off my natural-colored furnishing style. The delivery was very fast and the lamp arrived very well packaged. And hey - it really is a real eye-catcher. The only drawback is the light output - it`s not really bright (I have a 14-watt energy-saving lamp in it), but I`m still very happy with it and can only recommend it to others.
