I was pleasantly surprised with the appearance & easy assembly .  As one reviewer noted, the color has a bronze tint rather than pure silver which goes well with my bedroom.  I needed a lamp that used a 3-way 50/100/150 light bulb in order to get the illumination needed to read in bed. The only down side is the lampshade is not the best quality but the design is perfect.  I have been shopping for some time to find a lamp that met my illumination requirement.  This is the 3rd set of lamps I purchased but the only ones that work.  Fortunately, I could use the previous purchases elsewhere.

Pros: Great value, easy to assemble and well constructed
Cons: The lamp shade quality could be better
