This is a really classy lamp. It’s just what we were looking for to replace a torchiere lamp that was too tall for the space. This lamp has an extra long cord and…wait for it…a step on/off button! Love it! Hubby assembled it in minutes and we really love the way it looks in our livingroom. Be sure that you want a shorter lamp before ordering as it is 52 INCHES tall, not 5 ft 2 in.
