As a reflection of how much I like this Torchiere I will say that I have ordered two in black and my daughter three. There are numerous options for the type of light it gives, even an hour automatic timer, and all by just pushing a button on the remote. Unlike other torchieres I have had the remote operates by battery and works even from other rooms. The fixture is unusual in appearance and is an attractive conversation piece as well as being very versatile. A piece of artwork I made was calling for direct light and being able to rotate the torchiere made all the difference.  I can recommend this fixture without reservation. Oh yes, I forgot to mention how easy it was to put together.....took minutes.
