Very nice torchiere! This lamp was very easily assembled and is adequately weighted at the base to minimize an inadvertent knock over. I am very pleased with it’s functionality. It can be turned on/off manually or by remote control. The brightness and color warm ness can also be controlled by remote (a nice plus!). I use it as additional light in a corner and also to highlight a canvas piece of artwork (also purchased through Wayfair). I recommend this light without reservation to add light to a dark or hard to reach corner (remote helps) or to highlight art in a modern or transitional setting.
