A neighbor saw this in my MCM tv room and thought I intended to create a lounge.  The lamp is true to pictures and the faux wood handles aren't bad..  The base is very sturdy.  The instructions say no higher than 60 watt bulbs, but I found it too bright with halogen soft whites.  The shades do get very warm.  My only  negative comment is advertised as 68" but that's if the top shade is totally straight up and down.  The base to top of pole is only 65 3/4".  Luckily the base is somewhat hidden so I can place a riser underneath.

Pros: Style, $
Cons: Shorter than expected
