I like this lamp a lot, particularly with the Edison bulbs. This is NOT a tall lamp. I am 5' 3" and the bulbs are BELOW my eye level. Since I am using the lamp to add some light to a darker corner of a room, that's okay. It might work as a reading lamp near a chair, but, it will not illuminate a room. This isn't a heavy lamp. It's lightweight, so, I assume it's less sturdy and I'll baby it.

Pros: retro industrial look; nice accent piece
Cons: very lightweight construction
