I received this floor lamp today ( 2 day shipping as promised even though we had a snow storm) and I  can not say enough about the product , not to mention how easy it was to connect  and screw the parts together. I was amazed that it took me only 20-25 minutes to put everything together WITHOUT  HELP. This is a great looking product. I like this floor lamp so much that I am going to purchase another as an house warming gift for my daughter.
