Bought two of these lamps for our bedroom. Base is heavy, which is exactly what I wanted since we have a cat who occasionally walks by and tips furniture and smaller objects on tables over. The lamps are fine, sturdy, interesting to look at it, and will likely last a very long time. I deducted one star because one of the lamp bases had tiny bits of concrete chipped off at a few of the many corners. No big deal and not worth the hassle of returning them, plus I doubt anyone else would notice. I think these lamps would look fine in industrial, rustic, or even retro themed rooms, and actually, probably in most settings. Overall a good buy.
