This is a nice looking, unique, industrial style floor lamp and looks great with an Edison bulb. I only rated it one star because one of the big selling features for me was the adjustable top piece so I could raise or lower the shade accordingly. Unfortunately, the knob on the side which raises/lowers it, isn't effective AT ALL. If I were to adjust it to look like the photograph, the weight of the metal shade would cause the entire piece to come down and the lamp to fall forward. I will follow this review up with a photo so you can see what I mean here... the knob doesn't tighten enough to hold it at your desired level... So the only way I can use this lamp is fully upright. Unfortunately, my boyfriend prematurely tossed the box for this item or I would have returned it. Also, the cord is in a very odd place... not sure why it wasn't designed to come out the bottom... ? May still see about returning this although I do still like it. Maybe I received a defective one?!
