We were debating if a $400 was really worth the price tag and it definitely was. This is a high quality floor lamp that is thoughtfully designed. I love how the black cord is hidden through one of the legs. The legs feel like they are metal but it looks like wood from the outside. Very sturdy. We spent a lot of time looking at floor lamps and this one was the one we pulled the trigger on. I highly recommend if you are looking for modern floor lamp for your home!
