Overall, the lamp is great! The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because when I opened up the box it came in and I pulled out the lamp box, the lamp fell out the bottom.  The base is extremely heavy and the bottom of the lamp box wasn't taped shut.  I guess it was user error, but when the lamp fell out the bottom, the base dented where it hit the floor.  Just be careful when you unbox!
