The lamp fits nicely in our family room.  It provides good light, with the shade easily adjusting as needed.  I like the bronze finish and the graceful lines of the stand.  As mentioned in other reviews, I would have preferred the off/on switch positioned at the top of the lamp stand instead of on the floor.  But, I am adapting to the slight inconvenience.  I realize in some situations this might not even be an issue.  The lamp was easily assembled.  The shade was damaged (lower rim of shade) upon arrival.  The lamp is heavy enough to be study yet easy to move.  I am pleased with the lamp and its attractive style.
