I had a bit of difficulty assembling the lamp because the base/body wouldn't align and stop tightening midway. It took about several attempts to finally get them together. The finish doesn't look cheap and it is tall. It accentuates the high ceiling and the base is sturdy/heavy enough, no wobbling etc. With the right bulbs, the lamps provide ample bright light.However, the reading lamp is not flexible enough to move. It can only adjust to a certain direction. Otherwise this lamp is a good buy. Serves its purpose.

Cons: Difficulty in assembly, reading lamp not flexible enough to move/adjust.
