This is a great lamp!  I got the chrome instead of black, and it's just elegant.  It's tall and thin, would fit anywhere.  Simple to put together --- just pull the cord through the segments.  I LOVE the choices of lighting it has!  I can have it bright for reading, or dimmer for dimmer lighting while we watch TV.  The remote makes it so easy to operate.  I think the price was great for the kind of lamp this is.  Good choice!
