This lamp looks way more expensive than it really was.  It gives off a tremendous amount of light and has really solved the problem of my dark office.  It is modern, but elegant at the same time.   The only downside is that the poles are a bit flimsy and you have to be very careful assembling it and moving it, as the poles will bend or potentially break off at the base.  Another reviewer suggested assembling it in place, good idea.  I gave it four stars because of the flimsy poles, but can't complain as the price for the look can't be beat.
