The lamp is stunning, once you get it assembled. My children love the dimmer and it really brightens up a room. I will say that after two weeks it started to look like it was leaning some, so I removed the chandeliers and looked underneath to see if it needed tightening. It didn't so there will be some leaning. Having it bbehind the couch assured me that it won't lean too much. Assembly wasn't bad at all, and that is very important for me to know before making a purchase. It really is lovely. Take your time with assembly. It's tall and a little unwieldy, so you have to be careful.
