Basic lamp. It is beautiful in my living room, just nothing special about it. It says "adjustable" and I have no idea what that means. Lights are on or off, not dimmable. Height is not adjustable. You can turn the individual lights in different directions and have them on or off separately. Switches are on each lamp, not on the cord or pole, so make sure the lamp is somewhere you can easily reach it all the time. Seems sturdy enough, mine is in a corner. Pay attention that it's not very tall. Overall, it's fine.
