A lovely and substantial lamp. The base is heavy enough to give the lamp a good foundation even on carpet. It was easy to assemble and only took a few minutes. The only think I do not particularly like is LED bulb - I prefer a warmer light. The saving grace on their topic is their the lamp has a dimmer, which helps the glare of LED bulb. Perhaps I will be able replace the bulb with a better hue. Other than that, a great purchase.
