Red Lantern 39" Koru Japanese Bamboo Shoji Lantern

Was looking for a 3 ft high lamp and liked the Asian style. It has brown stained wood base and bamboo, some of the online photos made the bamboo look darker or almost black. Got it for a good price, don't think it's worth the over $100 price it is listed at now.

This lamp is nicely made of wood, bamboo, and paper. It took a few tries to get the bulb to screw in far enough to light up; at first I thought it was not wired correctly, but I eventually forced the bulb in enough and it illuminated. It is a little smaller than I expected, but I put it on an end table in a corner and it looks nice there. For my application it would be a bit too small to put on the floor. If I had to change anything I would recommend using one more brass clip to hold the wire at the base of the bamboo shaft, instead of the zip ties, which I removed immediately.

Perfect for my book cases in the entry hall.
