I love the style and look of the lamp and it goes perfectly in my space. The black color is a really nice matte metal and it’s modern yet mid century and I love that. My ONLY complaint… and I had a feeling when I bought it but I decided to purchase anyway… the pole base slants a bit with the weight of the lights bending to one side. I screwed it in as tightly as I could and when I push on the pole it moves back to straighten but then when I let go it goes back to the slant. Im so disappointed in that! Luckily I have it wedged behind a side table so you can’t REALLY tell. Docked a star for that, other than that I love the look.
