A solid, sturdy, and classy looking lamp.  The height is easily adjustable with the side twist handle that also adds a nice detail along with the brass pull chain. I like that it is narrow enough to not overpower my small room, but the shade is still large enough to keep it from seeming cheap. The only minor drawback is that the cord seems very long.  I think that is needed in case you extend the height all the way to the top. Overall, very happy with my purchase!
