Well made lamp and easy to assemble. It was packaged well to prevent damage during transit. Ordered the polished steel color and it was just what I expected. The lamp adjusts to fit all situations and provides good light for reading. I like the pull chain because it keeps hands and fingers away from the hot shade and makes it easy to reach from a sittng position. The price was right and the free shipping was really appreciated. I tried a 100 hundred watt bulb but it was too much light so I switched to a 75w which was perfect for me. Really like this lamp.
