Perfect addition to my home with high ceilings. The base is very heavy so it is sturdy. The gold accent is not overpowering but blends in and gives a nice glow when on in the evenings. A little worried about the actual arm as it may bend over time due to the bit of weight of the lantern but we shall see....also, FYI Wayfair, the packaging was a bit off. Possibly a return as some parts were not arapped properly.and the lamptern is a bit chipped along the edges...sigh
