Basically, it is a beautiful lamp that is also recommendable considering the price. However, there are three things you should at least know before buying: 1. the cable is not hidden. It runs into the oval of the wood and is therefore clearly visible (see photo). A lot could have been done to improve the appearance here with more skillful workmanship. 2. the shade is covered with a film on the inside. This can certainly be advantageous for cleaning. In my case, however, the lamp is elevated on a cupboard and the foil is naturally visible from below (see photo). In this position, I would have preferred a pure fabric cover. 3. the lampshade is somewhat translucent when the light is switched on. This should be taken into account when choosing the light source. I use a retro LED from innr here, but overall I`m happy with the lamp. I will only try to improve the appearance of the cable run with a little craftsmanship.
