I’ve had this tree floor lamp for about two years now. It works and as beautiful as when I received it. My living room is decorated in mix metals of gold, bronze and silver. This is just perfect for my home especially because my house didn’t come with a ceiling light fixture. Also, I really don’t care for lamps on end tables or end tables for that matter. Turning the little side knob gives full or dimmer lighting depending on the customers choice in atmosphere. The color is golden or bronze metal and the base is very heavy. The globes can be rotated 360 degrees. A very unique piece that sets your home apart from others. I do recommend to all.
