Love it so much I will be ordering a second for the other side of my room.  
Switch is on the pole, not on the floor, and can be reached while seated. The shade is high enough that the socket is barely visible. There is a lovely brass highlight near the top of the pole where the pole diameter changes.
That diameter change is where the lamp can be turned 360° so it can be hanging behind the chair or directly over chair.  The light will also tilt from the socket area as shown in the advertising. 
Assembly was simple for one person. 
My problem is that my floor is not level so lamp won’t stand perfectly vertical. I will solve that with shim.
