I had been searching for a taller floor lamp that was decently priced while being of decent quality and I'm glad I found this one! I did have a little bit of a struggle assembling the pole to the base part, but other than that- it's fairly easy to assemble. I think it looks great and provides enough light to cover a majority of my living room. I've had it for a week so far and am hoping I won't have any issues with it further down the road.
