This lamp is stylish and beautiful. I took a star off though for two reasons... 1 although the base is heavy, it isnt isnt 
heavy enough on carpet to support the lamp with all shades shown in the store photo position. I
had to separate them and use thick coasters to prop the front of the base so the light wouldnt topple forward (if anyone has a better, less ugly solution than the photo above, please let me know). 2 It would have been nice to be able to use only one or two lights, if lower light was necessary. The lamp only has an on off switch that controls all lights at once.
