It seemed a bit cheaply made when I took it out of the box, but overall it's a very cool lamp and I absolutely love it in my space! It's perfect for a little mood lighting, more on the bright white side of color as well. You have to be careful with the strings when turning it on, if the ball jiggles too much the light flickers. I am also having a hard time finding a power block for it that doesn't get really hot when in use. Thankfully I don't have it on for very long periods of time so it's not that much of an issue for me.
