This floor lamp is lovely and the twigs are really wood twigs. It rather looks like a plant arrangement and lamp in one in my dining room. I got it as an adjunct to overhead 1 bulb chandelier which doesn't provide enough light plus it's overhead and not great for dinner party. I did have to try several different bulbs so they would not be too bright. Customer Service made a suggestion (very rapid response) and told me it's the temperature of the bulb that is important for safety. Recommended 13 Watt spiral, low temp., 2700K.
I actually think the lamp is prettier than the photo.

I love how unique it is and admire the work that went into it. I really like the natural wood sticks. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the center and end scroll-like elements were also natural woody vines. Only slight negative was the cotton liner could have been finished better where the cord comes out, but I turned this to the back. It does not provide much light and can only be used for mood lighting or as a decorative statement.

This is a gorgeous piece...can't say enough about what it does for my room! LOVE IT!

Very pretty light, Goes perfect with my couch. It added that special touch to the corner.
