I really like this lamp. I was looking for a Tiffany style floor lamp that was reasonably priced with the colors used in my Living room: aqua, yellow, white/beige, and gray/black. This one was perfect! I wanted one that had the ability to carry two, 100 watt bulbs, which this does. The base is heavy enough that the lamp doesn't tip over easily. The cord is not very long, maybe two feet past the base. However, I can see why they wouldn't make it very long for tripping reasons. I placed my lamp beside a chair that easily allowed an extension cord to be used under the chair.
I like the mid-century design and the colors are nice during the day and illuminated at night, as well.
