Really nice lamp, very similar to the Elegant Trendy sheer lamp with crystals, but this one has a bit more bling. The crystals are cheaper quality plastic but some parts are glass (part that looks like a small bowl). I really like the foot button on/off switch. It would be easy to choose to hang or not hang the crystals according to your own taste.
I am not sure about the other's reviewer reference to the black shade. It is black sheer, so light does shine through nicely. I wanted it for light as well as ambiance, so I purchased LED equivalents to 60 watts (still uses less than 10 watts but is brighter than 40 watts). Check out Lohas LED 60 watt *candelabra* bulbs base E12 (same as B type) in warm white (not day bright). With regular incandescent bulbs, the frosted 50 watt bulb is nicer (wasted lots of bulbs, lol). the latter is more ambiance, rather thank providing lots of light to the room.
