This is a great lamp that looks way more expensive than it costs. It is easy to put together and gives off great light.  Two things make me not give this lamp 5 stars: there is a floor switch. It would be better if the switch were located closer to the base than the plug. Unpacking this was a Styrofoam disaster.  There was Styrofoam everywhere and two days later I am still finding it. No matter how carefully you unpack it the Styrofoam self destructs and ends up all over the place.
