I needed the perfect size floor lamp for a tight corner in LR, and I looked at hundreds while trying to keep in a budget of under $250. I read all of the reviews, looked at all the photos for this lamp and even though it is in 3 pieces decided to give it a chance. It’s a great lamp, heavy ( almost too heavy) so it’s stable and the metal is not shiny. I used 2 60 LED HD Warm which is perfect for the almost white shade. The shade had a few small dents which are thankfully near the seam so it’s facing the wall and unseen. Easy assembly, satisfying purchase.
