I love this lamp. It is so stylish and looks much more expensive thank it is. I love the mid-century design and it fits in perfectly with my decor. The base is extremely solid and the wood on the lamp stem is gorgeous. Very simple to put together. As opposed to some of the reviews, my lamp stands completely straight up and even. I did take the advice of some of the earlier reviewers and started the assembly directions backwards which worked perfectly. So happy with this purchase.
