This lamp is perfect. I am so in love. The metal cages bring a contemporary feel to our living room and the edison bulbs are warm and inviting. We placed the lamp to sit above the cuddler section of the couch and it's perfect in the lowest setting for reading, or in the other settings for relaxing. The metal cages do bend a bit, but they pop right back into place. It was incredibly well packaged and easy to put together, but you'll have to lay it down on the ground initially, so leave yourself enough room!
