Its a nice lamp. Glad I got it for $150. Downside it has a metal hollow post which I am uneasy handling, as it feels it could chip or dent easily. The shade is large, and light is bright with good bulbs. Has two switches to independently turn on off each of the 2 bulbs. Chain has a nice heavy brass end. Downside for me is when putting together the cord twist as its a braided sheath over the cord, was a pain to get untangled. The plug at the base meant to keep the cord from fraying was broken, so I frayed it slightly trying to pull the cord through the sharp hole. Would have returned but not worth it as its not going to go back in, so no biggie. Original price was $750 and if I bought if for that I definitely be disappointed. Solid piece for the 150-160 price.
