Bought this thinking it was going to be cheap build quality but was surprised to find real glass bulbs, well machined parts, and excellent fit and finish. the base is nice and heavy too, so it's as stable as can be. All parts threaded nicely and fit snug. Even came with bulbs. Only complaint is I wish there was a switch perhaps somewhere on the fixture itself rather than just the foot activated button. Can't be put behind the couch for that reason, but regardless, i am very satisfied with the purchase.
