This was one of my Christmas presents, and it happily arrived quickly. This lamp is fabulous. It took very little time to put together. It was not too big for the room, my ceiling is 105". It did not touch my ceiling, so measure before you order. The bottom is sturdy and able to keep this lamp solid to the ground.The light from the lamp is perfect and dimmer switch is sweet.l I purchased the black, it works great in my room. I will be ordering a coffee table in the near future.
