I kind of like this lamp. It's made well and with a 60 watt bulb, it illuminates nicely. I found it a little odd that the actual electrical cord held the lamp on the hooks (provided). Although the lamp is very light, I would have preferred to have a thin, simple chain as the support. It's something you can surely add to later. The cord is nice and long with the switch low enough that you can hang the lamp pretty high if you wanted to. It's nice in the corned of a room or above a small dining table.

Very satisfied with this lamp ('cherry rosewood' color) - although cheap, it's nicely put together and looks great in my apartment kitchen to replace the boring metal hanging light. I removed the bulb assembly (comes with a cord and one of those click-wheel switces on the cord) and substituted the existing light hanging down from the kitchen ceiling.

It also shipped in a double-box with bubble wrap inbetween, quite sturdy.
highly recommended!

Looks wonderful in our craftsman-style house. I agree with the reviewer who said it is best with a chain added. Pain in the butt to pry open the links and weave the cord through the chain (12-inch white chain purchased from a home center), but well worth the effort. Hung it from a white plant bracket suspended between two kitchen windows and used cord cover to hide the cord running across the top of the window frame and down the other side. Everyone who sees it admires it.

It is a very pretty light fixture. Was delivered faster than the
date stated.

This is a great lamp because of its simple, tastful design, ease of installation, and effective lighting function.
I love it and was very pleased with it when it arrive. I do wish it had been a bit larger in all dimensions, but for the price it is a welcome addition to my dining area.

I love this light...inexpensive, yes but you would never know it. It is very well made and fits my needs perfectly. It was packed very well and considering the weather this winter, it still arrived in a timely manner. Couldn't be happier.

loved the lamp came early was easy to assemble and went better than I thought it would with the rooms decore *v* love it

I bought two of these light fixtures. They're very nice looking and appear to be pretty well made. The only "curious" thing is that they don't include as "swag" chain but does include two "cheesey" looking hooks. This would force you to hang them by the cord which is not advisable for safety and asthetic reasons. I ended up buying a swag kit for the lights which came with much nice ceiling hooks. Unfortunately I had to cut the plug off and install a new one after I threaded the cord through the chain. It does look great now.

I bought this to put over the table in my kitchen and also because it was natural wood, as I wanted to paint it black to co-ordinate with my colors. Everyone commented on it. I ran the cord through chain so I could hang it from a hook in ceiling - voila!! It added to the oriental feel I had - love it!!! It also would look great on a table -

This lamp is small but as cute as can be, and looks great on my lanai
