I really love the clean, modern and elegant look of this lamp. And I think being able to simply touch the button to turn on and brighten the lamp is genius. However I’m docking stars because my base was scratched a bit (very disappointing!) and it’s cumbersome to put together. The pole is actually 4 smaller pieces that you have to make perfectly tight or else there will be a slight bend in your lamp. Mine does not look as perfectly straight as it does in Allmodern’s pictures. Overall, it serves its purpose and looks pretty.
