This lamp is very cheaply made. It stood okay on the wood floor but when it is on the carpet, it topples over. Unfortunately we purchased this for the baby's nursery which is carpeted. It is cute to look at from afar, but on closer look, it is cheaply made. The "metal" part seems to be plastic and you can't really adjust the height or the arm. I would return it but it seems to be more of a hassle at this point so we will make do.
