I was looking for a tall floor lamp for our living room with a nice polished style, hoping to not spend an arm and a leg.  I really like the look of this lamp, it's a nice scale in our living room and the shade is a pretty oatmeal / off white linen.  However it sits on carpet and I wish the quality was better because it never can stay straight.  Either one of the arms loosens just a little, or the point where the shade connects doesn't tighten all the way, but it's always crooked and drives me a little crazy to have to keep adjusting it.  If I were to do it over, I would spend a little more for a higher quality floor lamp that stays plumb!
