Bought two for my nightstands, and I love that they're adjustable in height. This is a nice lamp with clean lines. The lampshade is adequate, could be switched out for a more high-end look. The shade has the circular metal part that rests on the base just below the light bulb, not a harp. This is an excellent lamp for the price, although I do wish it was heavier. I have destructive cats that like to rub against the shade and end up knocking it off the nightstand - sigh. So I can either buy affordable lamps that look great until they're knocked over one time too many, or spend lots of money on something so heavy it can't be tipped. I'm going with affordable, and this lamp provides the look I want with a price I'm willing to pay.
