I hemmed and hawed over a floor lamp for a couple weeks.  I finally settled on this one because of the reviews and it looked simple with a touch of elegance and I was not disappointed.  I love this lamp.  I like the pulls so I can reach up and turn it on and off easier and I really like the brushed steel look, which is surprising because I am more of a bronze girl. But this fit into my new remolded family room perfectly.  I am giving it 4 stars because the lamp shade had two stains on it. One was a water stain which you can't see when the light is on and the other looks like a black thumb print by whoever may have packaged it. I could live with the barely there water stain but I thought I was going to have to send it back due to the black thumb print, but my daughter managed to clean it almost all away and we can hardly notice it now. All in all it's a very nice floor lamp.
