Looks great. The finish is a bright gold, not cooper. It did take us two tries to put it together, the first time it was crooked. So you do have to be extra careful as your screwing together the sections to avoid it come out crooked. The switch to turn it on is on the cord that plugs into the wall, so it’s intended to be a foot switch. We’re using it in our nursery so we secured the switch to the back side of the end table so that it’s hidden but easily accessible while sitting in the chair.
