We were very happy with this purchase! I was surprised how easy it was assembling this Tree Floor Lamp. The brushed steel base is padded & very sturdy and looks great on our hardwood floor. The light pole attached with ease to the base and there is only one connection that you have to make the light work. The five individual lights are adjustable to get the look that you want too. A very beautiful and elegant lamp with a great price  B.T.
