Leave it as a plug-in to move it easily and create different looks in different rooms or hardwire it to your wall for a long lasting look. The clear glass shade and exposed bulb easily create different lighting ambiance and moods when adding bulbs of different brightness.
VERY HARD to assemble. The plate that holds it needs a hole to secure it to wall and it doesn't have one, had to have it drilled. Really a headache to install. If it were easy to intall on a wall, I would have a different opinion.
