I was looking for a lamp to match another one in my living room and this does that very well.  It is also a good weight and very nice looking.  There are two problems.  1) It is impossible to unpack without destroying the packing material, so no hope of returning.  2) There is a flaw in the finish or perhaps it's glue.  Whatever it is, it could not be removed and attempts to do so started peeling up the finish.  I will have to sand and refinish that spot.  For this price, that is just not acceptable.  I would have purchased another had the quality control on this product been better.
