Love it. Clean style, gives off light above, below and through the shade so depending on the bulbs you choose to put in, it can give off a ton of light. Shade is not stark white but is off-white and appears somewhat cream colored when lit. Nice woven texture. Heavy finial and nicely detailed pulls, which are touches I really like. I find nothing to dislike about this floor lamp. The drum shade is wide so make certain you have the room for it. Easy 5 stars from me.
