Absolutely love the silver lamp I purchased. The shade was bigger than I anticipated (they provide accurate measurements) but just a note that it is wider than the base of the lamp. The lamp looks lovely and I love the big shade, however I have the lamp as tall as it will go and the shade looks a little big at the height. I love that it is adjustable though. There is a center ring that can be turned to allow the center pole to be pulled up to a desired height. It doesn't seem like the tightest clamp, but it has held the lamp in place so far. The cord comes out of the center pole, not really one of the legs as described. Very easy construction, just make sure you find all the pieces when unpacking the box!
