THIS is a gorgeous eye catching industrial lamp with its weight keeping it from tipping..LOVE that it can be adjusted..it is in our family room and everyone loves our new look of Industrial Cottage ..It is a perfect fit with our  beautiful GEAR WALL Clock and gear bookends..Thank you for a VERY well constructed , beautiful  finished item...choosing correct  bulb is very important  to get the look you are going for... I ordered 2 in the brushed steel..LOVE THEM both !!!
