Beautiful! We bought this floor lamp for our bedroom to go with our contemporary/glam look and it’s perfect! The “crystals” are acrylic or some type of plastic but nicely weighted for perfect dangling. Assembly was easy. The stand comes in the standard pre-wired base and multiple piece pole that all screws together to make the completed stand. Then, after putting the 3 tier metal frame (what-would-be-a-shade), you just hang each crystal on a fixed hook on the metal shade-frame. There are no little wires to fool with like some of these crystal lamps have, nothing tedious. Each acrylic crystal has a hole on the end and you just hook it on the frame. Simple! It’s gorgeous on and off, and easy to function since it has a floor button that you step on to turn it on or off.
