For the price this lamp looks amazing. Looks very similar to one sold in pottery barn but of a sligthly smaller scale. Was a bit worried that I might have a tipping problem as other customer's of arch style lamps have stated, but the base is very HEAVY. No need to worry. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the black powder coating on the lamp body was scratched. It was in the very top of the arch and thus notvisable, so I didn't think it worth it to return for exchange. Overall very pleased!
