I’m 6’10” so the pictures are kind of high up lol. The piece is beautiful very very easy to assemble. It comes with a little wrench to screw in the little nut at the bottom of the base. The lamp has 3 lighting setting I click turns on 1, a second will turn on 2 and the third of course is all 3. My couch is a darker gray so you can see the difference in the tones of the grays. I would highly recommend it especially at the price.
