I really like the lamp and it will serve our purpose very nicely. Only giving 4 stars because the brass is a little darker than what I thought so it doesn't match as perfectly with my other satin brass accents as I would have liked. To note the arm does swing side to side at the place where it joins the wall base (which I should have understood from the name) but I thought it would only adjust in and out via the two pivot points. But it doesn't cause us any problem.
