This is a great lamp for the price. It looks really high quality and similar to others that I was looking at for 5x the price. The only slight downside is it is a little lighter than I would prefer but given the price I am totally ok with it. I have it tucked in a corner beside a chair so it won't be in any danger of being knocked over. Shipping was crazy fast. I ordered it on thurdsay night of Thanksgiving and received the lamp 2 days later (on a saturday). It was about a week faster than they had originally quoted. Highly recommended!
