Price is right for what you get. The base is heavy and rods screwed together tightly. The lamp shade isn't great. It comes rolled up like a newspaper and you have to unroll it and velcro the ends together, then attach the metal hoops to the top and bottom using very small plastic clips. One of the clips popped off during assembly. Plus it that it comes with a bulb and a foot switch. I would return it if this were for my house, but it's just for a small office.
