What a cool desk lamp! The perfect compliment to and eclectic, vintage, antique home office. The lamp is large, (pay attention to the specs), but just what we were looking for. Assembly was super quick, as another reviewer said, there's an “extra” part had me scratching my head for a minute until I realized it was extra - it's a set screw for the shade which is handy to have. You can adjust the lamp up and down, it throws great light. Super quality, heavy, color accurate to the real images, (not so shiny as the color sample), more antique brass. terrific lamp!!
