I love the looks of this lamp.  I bought two to put at either end of my sofa and they suit my room very well.  They were quick and easy to put together.  The only complaint I have about them is that they are a little hard to switch on and off.  I think that they will get easier as they loosen up a little.  In general, though, I like them a lot and am glad that I got them.  As was mentioned in prior reviews, they are more copper colored than goldish, but that was what I was looking for.
