The shade diffuses the light enough to work well in the living room without too much glare on the tv. It makes a great desk lamp or accent lamp.

The lamp shade is easy to put together but requires patience to line everything correctly. Once you do, it’s a snap to assemble. The crystal spheres are gorgeous, and the look of the lamp far exceeds my expectations!

The side on/off/dimmer switch on the cord is so much easier than having to go the lamp base to turn on/ off/dim the light. The three different levels of lighting are super.
