Got the lamp and fist impression was, "I really paid for this?". It's nice, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't really justify the price tag.

There's a few black lumps of something - looks like melted plastic, but could be paint - coming out from the hole in the wooden shaft where the black metal bar pokes though. Hard and won't come off. NOT the sort of finish I was expecting.

The cord is also really hard and after being packed up refuses to hang of the table, instead stays bunched up and twisted.

Finally, and I knew this going in, a light at this price should have at least three different light settings. I mean, you can get cheap home box store lamps with that feature. I believe it should be standand on any lamp (not just this one).

Not disappointed enough to send it back and I do like the look of it, but wouldn't recommed it to anyone who's thinking about buying one unless you're completely in love with the design.
