Stable and well-made and designed floor lamp, came quickly, unboxing took some work (and little bits of styrofoam stick to everything) due to a good amount of styrofoam packing that protected the lamp and shade.  I like the lamp and have a 60 watt incandescent bulb in it which is a good light level for me.  I guess you could put a 3-way bulb in it as stated in description for expanded light levels.
