This light is so versatile on size and arch and height. You really can not go wrong as you can adjust it to your room size and layout. Be sure to get the one bolt in the bottom of the lamp base tight or the pole base will lean. I put this together myself but my husband had to tighten the one bolt to straighten up the base pole. Love the on-off button on the floor - convenient. Very modern - a designer statement by itself. It is sturdy and looks like it cost at least twice as much as it did! The room has 9ft ceilings.
