Love it!! It is quite a stunner and adds that perfect touch. Aside from what it looks like, it adds some great light for reading books. It is very sturdy. The trunk was a little wobble-ly, even after I further tightened it. I cut up a credit-card that came in the junk mail and it was thin enough to slip between the trunk and the base and that did the job! We purchased a little side table from Wayfair to hide the base and have a little place to put drinks. We've gotten a lot of comments on the light.
