Purchased this lamp for my beach house and it was very nice and very easy to put together.  Also, well described on the website and the lamp shade was so elegant and high quality.  I returned it not because of anything wrong with the lamp but because it was really too tall for the space beside my chair where I needed the extra light for reading.  It looked dorky next to the other three lamps in the room that were shorter than the new floor lamp was.  Outside of that, surely would have kept it!
