This is a gorgeous lamp for the price. It is a lot sturdier than I was expecting it to be. The only reason I left a star off is because the top of the arch does not curve down as much as I expected. I'm not sure if it's just the lamp that we received or if this is the case for all the lamps, but the lamp shade is not perpendicular to the floor but is angled about 20 degrees which I imagine can be fixed by adding a little weight to it.
