Was pleasantly surprised to see the quality of the lamp.  The pleasant finish of the metal and the ease with which it may be assembled were also pleasant surprises.  We have it placed over a Queen Anne chair to serve as a reading lamp.  And it does the job admirably.  Do not let the modest price fool you.  It is a very good product.  (It also arrived within 2-3 days from ordering it.)  Would recommend to a friend.
