The lamp is nice. I deducted one star because the finish scratches easily and feels a little cheap. Also because any of the threaded pieces that screw together are not solid and can easily become loosened and feel like they could be easily bent or damaged due to cross-threading or too much pressure (bending them). One other thing that I am not crazy about on the lamp is that the power cords are visible hanging off the ends of the branches.. I didn't really think about that before buying it. I think something a little nicer could have been done to hang the bulbs and shades from the branches. The branches are also a little close together and I am not sure if they can be bent outward or if I am damaging the lamp trying to do this. Otherwise really like it in my living room. Nice piece.. try to get it on sale. Thanks!
