I received my lamp fairly quickly after I ordered it. I have many rooms that this could be used in but it stands in my living room as of today. It was really easy to assemble and looks wonderful! It stands pretty tall but the measurements are in the description, so be sure to read those. I ordered the silver lamp and the lamp shade is exactly what I wanted and the stand is nice and sturdy. I have had no issues with this lamp being top heavy or falling over. The stand is a bit large but it needs to be to ground the whole lamp and prevent tipping. I would recommend this lamp and I will probably end up purchasing another one for the reading nook in my bedroom.
