We are happy to have a floor lamp and this purchase did serve this purpose. It wasn't as perfect as I would have liked. Shade was too white for our liking and then needed some adjusting to level and aligned to look straight. The weighted metal bottom had a imperfect bump on the surface, where under certain angles seemed to be more pronounced. I was happy with the delivery an packaging, the antique brass color was a perfect solid feel, and mechanical assembly and operation was easy and smooth. All in all, it was appropriate to what I paid.
